Kasich to end White House bid: US media
Ohio Governor John Kasich will suspend his presidential campaign yesterday, his campaign told US media, a move that would leave frontrunner Donald Trump as the sole Republican candidate in the White House race.
Kasich's campaign abruptly canceled an event in the Washington area and rescheduled a press conference for 5:00pm (2100 GMT) in Ohio's capital Columbus.
Broadcaster MSNBC and others reported that a senior campaign advisor said that appearance would be Kasich's announcement that he is dropping out of the 2016 race.
Rival Ted Cruz bowed out late Tuesday, a surprise move that left Kasich as the sole remaining challenger to Trump. But like Cruz, Kasich is mathematically eliminated from winning the nomination outright.
