President Trump remains widely unpopular in California, but his campaign support in the state runs broad and deep. “When it comes to raising money, California is still king,” said Brent Lowder, a veteran GOP fundraiser who is advising the pro-Trump Great America PAC. The Times analysis shows the president’s 366,000 donors give about $100 less, on average, than those who gave to Biden. Trump’s biggest donors range from Silicon Valley private equity chiefs and Beverly Hills real estate developers to Central Valley agricultural barons and immigrant businessmen. Wealthy widows and heirs are also huge contributors, according to the analysis.
