LOS ANGELES (AP) — Donald Trump is set to make a personal pitch to California Republicans in a bid to solidify his support in a GOP presidential contest he has dominated for months.

Trump’s visit to the heavily Democratic state comes two days after he skipped the second GOP debate and instead held a campaign event in Michigan.
