John Kasich

John Kasich has been putting down markers for a potential 2020 run since he exited the G.O.P. primary last year—and they haven’t been subtle. The Ohio governor, who is closing in on the end of his second and final gubernatorial term, wrote a book critical of his former rival Donald Trump and the hyper-partisanship snarling Washington; fortifying his foreign policy credentials with trips to Germany, Britain, and Japan; actively inserted him

The 2016 presidential candidate's views, shared Friday at a Monitor breakfast, come amid an escalation of rhetoric vis-a-vis North Korea, both from the Trump administration and Republican congressmen.

The Ohio governor says he has no plans to challenge Donald Trump in a primary. But he's been busy drawing contrasts with the president.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich said Sunday that GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump faces an uphill climb in Ohio, a key battleground in the 2016 White House race.
Speaking on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Mr. Kasich — who has refused to endorse Mr. Trump and remains one of the real estate mogul’s toughest Republican critics — said the candidate’s rhetoric remains too divisive and inflammatory for the majority of voters in his state. Ohio is seen as key to Mr. Trump’s chances of beating Democrat Hillary Clinton in November.”

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney may not be interested in a third party run, but he’s looking for someone who is.

Conservative thinkers like Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol, radio show host Erick Erickson and Republican strategist Rick Wilson who are adamantly against presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump are hoping to find a third party alternative.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a political insider who believed in civility, suspended his campaign Wednesday – one day after Sen. Ted Cruz bowed out.

John Kasich will end his bid for the presidency Wednesday afternoon in Columbus, according to multiple reports. Kasich had planned to hold a press conference at Dulles Aiport near Washington Wednesday morning, but he never took off—perhaps an apt metaphor—staying home and scheduling a press conference for 5 p.m., where he is expected to make his announcement.

On Wednesday, after defeat in Indiana, John Kasich is announcing he is suspending his campaign.

Which raises the question: Why?

Why now? What changed?

Ohio Gov. John Kasich is expected to announce the suspension of his campaign at 5 p.m. in Columbus, Ohio.

After the news broke earlier on Wednesday, Donald Trump said Kasich is “doing the right thing” by dropping out of the presidential race, adding that he is interested in vetting the Ohio governor as a potential running mate.

Most Republicans and GOP-leaning independents say Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich should drop out of the presidential race now that they cannot mathematically get to a majority of GOP delegates through the primary and caucus process alone, according to a new poll.
