As Primary Campaign Heads To Ohio And Florida, Don't Forget About Missouri

Missouri is one of the five states set to hold primary elections on Tuesday. In the Democratic field, where polls show a tight race between former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, delegates will be awarded proportionally.

However, if the winner of the Republican primary – where Trump is leading – earns more than 50 percent of the state’s overall votes, he will walk away with all 52 delegates, making Missouri a big prize for GOP contenders.

Frank Morris of Here & Now contributor KCUR in Kansas City, Missouri, is watching the race closely and shares the latest with host Jeremy Hobson.
