Donald Trump Headed To Orange County
COSTA MESA (CBSLA.com) — Donald Trump is scheduled to visit Orange County Thursday on the heels of victories in Republican presidential primaries in five states.
According to Trump's campaign website, he will attend an event at the Pacific Amphitheater at the Orange County Fair & Event Center, 100 Fair Drive, in Costa Mesa.
Specific details haven't been released, other than that the doors will open at 4 p.m. for the 7 p.m. event. Tickets are available on his website.
Trump's campaign was the focus of Tuesday night's Anaheim City Council meeting. The council had been expected to vote on a resolution by Councilwoman Kris Murray condemning Trump's "divisive rhetoric" as running contrary to "the city of Anaheim's guiding principles of inclusiveness and kindness."
There were nearly four hours of public testimony before the council voted 3-2 to take no action on the resolution, which some critics argued was an illegal use of taxpayer resources for political purposes.
Trump's supporters and opponents clashed outside City Hall before the meeting, with some shouting obscenities at each other, and some firing pepper spray.
Trump on Tuesday scored primary election victories in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island, pushing him closer to the 1,237 delegates needed to win the Republican presidential nomination. Trump now has 949 delegates. His closest competitor, Ted Cruz, has 544.
California's primary election will be held June 7.
