Republican presidential candidate front-runner Donald Trump returns to Florida for a campaign rally on Saturday.

Trump’s rally will be held at the Robarts Arena in Sarasota, beginning at noon. He last visited Florida last month when he made stops before large crowds in Miami and Jacksonville.

The latest statewide poll shows Trump leading with 36 percent, followed by Marco Rubio, 18 percent, and Ben Carson at 15 percent. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was in fifth place with 8.9 percent.

Earlier this week, the Trump campaign announced the hiring of four new staffers. Named were Jennifer R. Locetta as deputy State Director, Ken Mayo as Director of Field Operations, John Ross Pughe as Southeast Regional Field Director, and Craig Bachler, as Director of Coalitions.
