WASHINGTON - Ohio Governor John Kasich is suspending his bid for the Republican nomination, NBC News reports.
Kasich, the long-shot candidate who only won his own state in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, canceled a media appearance on Wednesday in Virginia and scheduled a 5 p.m. ET statement in Columbus, Ohio, his campaign said.
Republican front-runner Donald Trump's decisive victory in the Indiana primary on Tuesday night forced another rival, Ted Cruz, to suspend his candidacy and prompted speculation that Kasich, running a distant third, would do the same.
