Cruz and U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, who are battling for second place in the polls behind GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump, will be in the metro area at virtually the same time. Rubio will be making a campaign stop in Kennesaw on Saturday at 12:30 pm.

The event will be at 12:30 pm at Mount Paran Christian School. You can RSVP for the event by clicking here.

Ohio Gov. Kasich held a town hall meeting on Tuesday at Kennesaw State University.

Fresh off her South Carolina and Nevada presidential primary wins, Hillary Clinton will be in Atlanta on Friday.

Her appearance comes less than a week after GOP frontrunner Donald Trump held a campaign rally at the Georgia World Congress Center, and only two weeks after her Democrat rival, Bernie Sanders, spoke to thousands of students at Morehouse College.

On Monday night, Rubio’s campaign office officially opened in Atlanta.

Clinton has a solid, 52-point lead over Sanders in a recent Channel 2 Action News poll conducted by Landmark Communications/Rosetta Stone.
