The billionaire Republican presidential frontrunner made a campaign stop at Crosby High School in Waterbury on Saturday, where Morkys lives, before also holding a rally in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The state is holding its primary on Tuesday, and according to the latest polling numbers, Trump is favored to win there.
