Donald Trump took the stage in heavily Democratic California to slam the vice president’s work in her home state, and insisted President Biden prefers him over Kamala Harris.

The former president recently announced a series of campaign stops in ‘deep blue’ states leading up to election day despite low winning prospects.

While speaking in Coachella, a desert city best known for the annual music festival with the same name, Trump attacked Harris for how she obtained the presidential nomination.

‘There was a coup, they actually threw [Biden] out of office and I am convinced that he likes me a little bit more than he likes her,’ Trump said.

‘You know, I beat Biden. So we have a debate, he went down. In all fairness to him, he got 14 million votes, she got none. So he goes down, they said “we want you out of here.”‘

Trump revealed he thinks the border is the number one issue facing the nation, blaming Biden, Harris and Gov. Gavin Newsome for the migrant crisis.

‘I think the border is number one, because you know, you know we can fix things we can do, but what they’ve done to our country at the border is unbelievable,’ he said.

‘Joe Biden was the worst president in the history of our country, she’s the worst vice president in the history of our country.’

His comments come as pundits speculate Biden is ‘deliberately sabotaging’ Harris’ campaign after he was forced to drop out. 

‘Biden is intentionally enacting revenge on Kamala for knifing him in the back,’ Republican political strategist who sits on the advisory board for Trump’s campaign Jason Meister told the New York Post.

‘He never liked her. The happiest he’s looked in four years was when he put a red [Trump 2024] hat on after speaking with Shanksville, [Pa.] firefighters [last month] on 9/11. He should just come out and endorse Trump.’ 

Democratic strategist Hank Sheinkopf told the outlet it is possible that Biden is trying to pull a ‘power move.’ 

‘It would be absolutely ridiculous to assume that he has no resentment over how he was treated or how, frankly, he was forced out in what some would describe as a coup,’ Sheinkopf said.

‘Why hasn’t he appeared in places where he could do some good, like parts of Pennsylvania and states that the president has buoyed during his term? Nobody wants to give up being president of the United States – it’s the one job you don’t want to leave.’

Trump visited Coachella in between stops in Nevada, at a roundtable in Las Vegas for Latinos earlier Saturday – where he praised Hispanics as having ‘such energy’ – and Arizona, for a rally Sunday in Prescott Valley. 

He is also set to take the stage at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on October 27.

Insiders told CNN Trump is making these stops in blue states to criticize their leaders and show how deep his support runs across the nation.

‘The location of his rallies matters less in this nationalized media environment. His messaging is making it to all the major media markets regardless of what he does. And the bigger the rally, the more attention it will get, right? I mean, Madison Square Garden? You guys have to cover it,’ said a senior Trump adviser.
