AKRON, Ohio — Presidential hopefuls in both parties made frenetic pitches across the Midwest and Southeast on Monday on the eve of presidential primaries in five states that could shore up the two front-runners — or breathe new life into the lagging campaigns of their challengers.
On the Democratic side, Sen. Bernie Sanders staged rallies in four of those states, trying to pull off more come-from-behind wins in states damaged by trade and claim momentum from Hillary Clinton, who enjoys a sizable lead but has not been able to seal the nomination.
For the Republicans, Tuesday offers a chance for Donald Trump’s remaining rivals to slow his march to the nomination with two winner-take-all contests that have particularly high stakes for a pair of favorite sons, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and Gov. John Kasich of Ohio.
