Clinton & Trump Fight To Retain Leads

WOL Featured Video

As voters head to the polls in five early voting states Tuesday, presidential candidates in both parties zig-zagged across the country during last-ditch efforts to make an impression on constituents.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders held rallies in four of the five states, including Missouri, Illinois, North Carolina, and Ohio, in the hopes of winning in states hurt by the nation’s trade agreements.

Sanders decided against holding rallies in Florida because Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton holds a formidable lead in the state. Indeed, Clinton has a sizable lead in general, but she is still working to seal the deal on the path to the nomination.

For Republicans, Donald Trump is seeking to lock down the nomination. In particular on Tuesday, he hopes to win in the home states of challengers, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Ohio Gov. John Kasich. The push comes as Trump’s campaign faltered last week amid escalating violence, reports CNN:

Once again, Trump has dominated the discussion headed into a big election day — with news cycles in the closing days before the third straight Super Tuesday focused on violence at his campaign rallies. He canceled one in Chicago amid security fears; he said he would look into paying the legal fees of a supporter who is charged with sucker-punching a protestor in North Carolina; he called for protesters who demonstrate at his rallies to be arrested.

Trump has so far managed to avoid any damage from the controversies that have engulfed his campaign from the start. But Tuesday provides another test — with states like Ohio threatening to chip away at his inevitability as the GOP nominee.
