Republican presidential candidates must hold to their pledges to support the party’s eventual nominee, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said Sunday, even as front-runner Donald Trump told John Kasich to stop “taking my votes.”
Campaigning in Milwaukee days before the Wisconsin primary, Trump suggested Kasich, the Ohio governor who's a distant third in party's delegate count, should drop out. “He's taking my votes,” Trump said of Kasich, according to the Associated Press.
