MIAMI ( CBSMiami) -- Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton is stopping into the sunshine state for Florida's Primary on Tuesday.
The democratic front-runner will hold an event on election night. Her campaign did not release any further details on the "public event."
All this as the latest Quinnipiac University poll of likely Democratic voters in Florida shows Clinton leading with 60 percent and rival Senator Bernie Sanders far behind with 34 percent.

But that isn't the only place with a Primary on Tuesday. Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio are also holding primaries.
Sanders is ahead in Illinois, and within 9 points of Clinton in Ohio.
Both Democratic presidential hopefuls are set to be campaigning in Chicago on Monday.
Meantime, fighting between Republican front-runner Donald Trump and both candidates is escalating.
Trump is accusing Sanders of being behind the protests at his rallies.
On Sunday, Trump tweeted, "Bernie Sanders is lying when he says his disruptors aren't told to go to my events. Be careful Bernie, or my supporters will go to yours!"
In Columbus, Ohio, Sanders rejected the accusation Trump has been making for days.
"Donald Trump is a pathological liar," said Sanders who reiterated that Trump is out of line. "He's going to pay the legal fees of somebody who committed a terrible act of violence. What that means is that Donald Trump is literally inciting violence with his supporters."

Clinton agreed with Sanders saying Trump is trafficking in hate, fear and bigotry.
"I am already receiving messages from leaders, hah, I'm having foreign leaders ask if they could endorse me to stop Donald Trump," said Clinton.
