Ohio Governor John Kasich suspended his presidential campaign on Tuesday, cementing Donald Trump’s status as the Republican standard-bearer virtually certain to face Democrat Hillary Clinton in November.
Speaking in Columbus, Kasich did not mention Trump or the presidential race. Rather, he thanked his family and supporters, recounted the places he visited and the people he met at his town halls. He talked about the staples of his campaign, including the importance of economic growth, being willing to help others "rise,'' and living a life "bigger than yourself.''
