Trump Also a Possibility

Meanwhile on the Republican side, the Donald Trump campaign is also eying a visit to Rhode Island.

Rhode Island Representative -- and honorary Trump campaign chair for Rhode Island --  Joe Trillo said on Monday that it was his understanding that information would be forthcoming.

"I think we'll know later on today or tomorrow. At this point its being handled by national party, " said Trillo. "There's a lot of details involved and everything has to be done right -- I'm waiting to hear. "

"I've given some suggestions, I'd rather not get into specifics," said Trillo. "The ideal time would be end of this week -- we're looking at 5,000 to 7,000 [person[ venue, from what I've been told, there would be tickets online and it would be done on a first some and first serve, basis."

"I'd like to see him win the majority of our delegates," said Trillo "[The Republicans] have 19. The enthusiasm has been great. We've got campaign headquarters at 1800 Post Road in Warwick - it's in the Airport Plaza -- and we're looking for folks help out.  Anyone can drop in between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. daily to help out, there's always someone there."
