Trump Moves Closer to the Presidency
Donald Trump faced a last day of campaigning on Monday before a crucial round of nominating contests including in Florida and Ohio, where establishment Republicans worked to trip him up.
Trump has fired up enthusiastic crowds with his promise to “make America great again.” But he has bucked Republican orthodoxy on policies including free trade and offended a range of Americans with his calls to temporarily ban Muslims from the country and deport illegal immigrants.
In Florida, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio, a favorite of the party establishment, has staked his survival in the campaign on winning in his home state. He has also suggested a tactical vote to stop Trump – encouraging his supporters in Ohio to cast their vote for Kasich.
Trump scheduled appearances in North Carolina, Ohio and Florida on Monday, after several days of events marked by outbreaks of shouting and shoving between supporters and protesters, who decry what they call his bigoted and divisive rhetoric.
Trump canceled a big rally in Chicago on Friday evening over security after protesters swarmed the event, sparking clashes. On Saturday, he was rushed by a man on an Ohio stage and repeatedly blamed Bernie Sanders, a candidate in the Democratic race, for the protesters’ actions.
