The front-runner for the Republican nomination for president brings his campaign to Columbus for the first time.
Billionaire businessman Donald Trump hosts a rally Monday night at 7 pm at the Greater Columbus Convention Center.
Several groups say they'll protest Trump's appearance. That follows his comments disparaging many Mexican immigrants and saying he supports a nationwide registry for Muslims.
Trump is the focus of a new New Hampshire ad campaign funded by a super PAC supporting Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who's also running for the GOP nomination.
The most-recent average of several national polls says about 28 percent of Republican voters support Trump. That's about ten times the amount of support given to Kasich.
