(7 seconds) (reporter): what do you have to say john to donald trump? (governor kasich): you're not going to ruin my day after i voted myself for president. i have nothing to say to him." here's 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. it's marco rubio's home state-- and he is holding out hope he'll come away with a victory, but the polls there aren't in his favor.he's expected to drop out in the coming days if he can't pull out a win there.rubio told supporters in ohio last week to vote for kasich in an effort to take trump down. finally -- ted cruz -- spent the day in illinois.he has held a series of rallies including this one last night in decatur.right now -- cruz is closest to trump in the showing tonight though could go a long way toward closing the gap between the candidates. on the democratic side -- hillary clinton visited a polling place in raleigh. meeting with voters before and after they cast their ballot. she even took time to take photos with children, far too young vote in this election. (hillary clinton/(d) presidential candidate) "so i'm 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. the kind of bluster and bigotry and bullying that he's exemplifying on the campaign trail is disturbing to, i think, the majority of americans." 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 there's a large voter turnout we're going to do just great here in illinois, missouri, carolina and florida. i think that in the states that are coming the pike, we have great opportunities to win man of them so we're feeling really good. election day in the buckeye state means plenty of voters at the polls. and so far it's a turnout that far surpasses ohio's voting numbers for the 2012 primary.but were the polls successfully able to handle the increase in voters? the now's briana harper joins us live with that answer and more. the answer is yes! and regardless of the voting results-- officials at the hamilton county board of elections are calling this a successful state primary election day.
