Donald Trump took the stage in heavily Democratic California to criticize the vice president’s work in her home state, insisting that President Biden chooses him over Kamala Harris.
The former president recently announced a series of campaign stops in “deep blue” states in the run-up to Election Day, despite low win prospects.
While speaking in Coachella, a desert city best known for the annual music festival of the same name, Trump attacked Harris for the way she secured the presidential nomination.
“There was a coup, they actually committed it [Biden] out of office and I’m convinced he likes me just a little bit more than he likes her,” Trump said.
“You know, I beat Biden. So we have a debate, he went down. In fairness to him, he got 14 million votes, she got none. So he went down, they said, ‘we want you out of here.'”

Trump revealed he thinks the border is the biggest problem facing the nation, blaming Biden, Harris and Governor Gavin Newsome for the migrant crisis.
“I think the border is number one because you know, you know there are things we can fix that we can do, but what they did to our country at the border is unbelievable,” he said.
“Joe Biden was the worst president in the history of our country, she is the worst vice president in the history of our country.”
His comments come as experts speculate that Biden is “intentionally sabotaging” Harris’ campaign after he was forced to resign.
“Biden is deliberately taking revenge on Kamala for stabbing him in the back,” said Republican political strategist who sits on the advisory board for Trump’s campaign, Jason Meister. New York Post.
‘He never liked her. The happiest he has looked in four years was when he turned red [Trump 2024] hat on after talking to Shanksville, [Pa.] firefighters [last month] on 9/11. He should just come out and support Trump.”
Democratic strategist Hank Sheinkopf told the newspaper that it is possible Biden is trying to make a “power move.”
“It would be absolutely ridiculous to assume that he doesn’t hold grudges about the way he was treated or how, quite frankly, he was forced out in what some would describe as a coup,” Sheinkopf said.

“Why hasn’t he shown up in places where he could do some good, like parts of Pennsylvania and states the president has supported during his term? No one wants to give up the presidency of the United States – it’s the one job you don’t want to leave.”
Trump visited Coachella between stops in Nevada, during a Las Vegas roundtable for Latinos earlier Saturday — where he praised Hispanics for having “so much energy” — and Arizona, before a rally Sunday in Prescott Valley.
He will also take the stage at Madison Square Garden in New York City on October 27.
That’s what insiders said CNN Trump makes these stops in blue states to criticize their leaders and show how deep his support runs across the country.
“The location of his meetings matters less in this nationalized media environment. His messages reach all major media markets, no matter what he does. And the bigger the rally, the more attention it will get, right? I mean, Madison Square Garden? You guys need to keep an eye on it,” said a senior Trump adviser.
