BURLINGTON, Wis. (AP) – Donald Trump is back on the always lively and often combustible rally circuit as presidential contenders in both parties bid for advantage in Wisconsin’s primaries Tuesday.

Overshadowing the Republican race: a persistent effort by Trump’s rivals in the campaign and the party to force the nomination fight into the July convention.

Trump has two afternoon rallies Saturday and one in the evening, in Racine, Wausau and Eau Claire.

In the increasingly bitter Democratic race, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are set to attend a Wisconsin Democratic Party dinner Saturday night in Milwaukee.

Their attention will quickly turn to an even more consequential contest, in New York on April 19. That’s where the Democratic front-runner dearly hopes to avoid an upset in the state she served as senator.
