This is the race to watch tonight. Not just for us in cincinnati or in ohio but around the world. I wanted to give you a sort of behind the scenes look right now at the number of tv satellite trucks parked outside this gym at Baldwin Wallace university. Inside were set up between Media Outlets from around the world. Why . This is considered a do or die moment for kasich. His campaign and the super pac spent weeks flooding the state with volunteers working get out the vote efforts. And kasichs running almost entirely on a change of tone. Even today as we caught him voting he refused to fuel the fire in a battle with donald trump. 7 seconds reporter what do you have to say john to donald trump . governor kasich youre not going to ruin my day after i voted myself for president. I have nothing to say to him. Heres the thing to watch donald trump has been keeping a relatively low profile today in public but not on social media. On twitter, trump has been attacking kasich and talking about his plans for the economy. Trump is scheduled to be in florida tonight where another major primary is underway. Its marco rubios home state and he is holding out hope hell come away with a victory, but the polls there arent in his favor.

She even took time to take photos with children, far too young vote in this election. Hillary Clinton d president ial candidate so im going to keep working as hard as i can, but i think it is important that we, really do, focus on the very dangerous path that donald trump has laid out here.

Clinton may be turning her focus to donald trump but Bernie Sanders is still a threat. He spent the day in illinois. Illinois. senator Bernie Sanders well i think that if theres a large voter turnout were going to do just great here in illinois, missouri, carolina and florida.
