Trump is about to become the first president since Dwight D. Eisenhower 64 years ago to skip a visit to California during his first calendar year in office. Of the 29 states Trump has visited since taking office, just eight are west of the Mississippi River. But Trump did not visit, even as he traveled to Florida, Louisiana, Texas and Puerto Rico following devastating hurricanes this year. If and when Trump does visit California, he would have one of his own places to visit. While Trump has been MIA in California, fundraising for California Republicans has continued.
