Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump campaigned in Bloomington-Normal Sunday, attracting supporters and protestors, but no major disruptions.

The Vermont Senator and Democratic presidential candidate cited his improving poll numbers, and believes a large voter turnout in Tuesday's Illinois primary will secure him a win.  About 3,600 filled the U of I's Activities and Recreation Center to hear Sanders, who reiterated a number of campaign pledges, including free tuition for college students and raising the minimum wage to $15.

Reporters Tony Arnold and Michael Puente of Chicago public radio station WBEZ covered Donald Trump’s non-appearance Friday night at the Pavilion at the University of Illinois Chicago campus.
