INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Donald Trump supporters arriving to hear him speak at an Indianapolis campaign rally say they remain worried the Republican Party leaders are trying to block him from winning the presidential nomination.

A few thousand people gathered in an Indiana State Fairgrounds hall for the rally Wednesday, a day after Trump's big Republican primary win in New York.

Sixty-year-old Scott Sheffield of Indianapolis says he thinks Trump will win Indiana's May 3 primary and expose how the GOP establishment is trying to grab the nomination from him.

Trump's Indiana campaign stop will be followed by a Ted Cruz speech on Thursday at a state Republican Party fundraiser in Indianapolis.

Thirty-four-year-old Jay Derbes of Indianapolis says he thinks Indiana voters are independent enough that Trump's "message will resonate."
