Presidential candidate Donald Trump acknowledges supporters while taking the stage during a campaign rally at Erie Insurance Arena in Erie, Pa., on Friday, Aug. 12, 2016.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Donald Trump will be presented to California voters on Nov. 8 as the nominee of two different political parties, after leaders of the ultra-conservative American Independent Party voted to select the New York real estate developer as its standard bearer.
It will be the first time a presidential candidate is listed on the California ballot as the choice of two parties in at least 80 years, state election officials said.
“We are the demographic that Trump is appealing to,” said Markham Robinson, the secretary of the American Independent Party of California. “We are heeding the voice of our voters.”
