Ohio Gov. John Kasich will announce he is suspending his GOP presidential campaign Wednesday afternoon, an aide said, leaving New York businessman Donald Trump as the last Republican standing in the race for the White House.

Mr. Kasich’s departure from the campaign came after he abruptly canceled a planned appearance at a private airport terminal in suburban Washington. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz ended his campaign Tuesday night.

Mr. Kasich had planned to host a series of fundraising events in the Washington area Wednesday, but planned attendance diminished after Mr. Trump’s commanding victory in Indiana’s primary, an aide said.

Kasich spokesman Chris Schrimpf didn’t disclose the planned subject of Mr. Kasich’s Columbus remarks.

    Both Hilary and Trump are not really favorite candidates. I am not impressed by either one. In recent years elected presidents appear to get worst. What can they do for Americans, some of whom have also become godless?
    We will see who wins the presidency. Whoever wins it could be a punishment for America and even the world. Either one, may God help America!

        I should not reply to you but I will. Leave the PM out of this US election. Some of you love to criticize him. What are you doing for Dominica?
        I have every reason to comment just as you do. Therefore, YOU GET OUTTA HERE! :twisted: :mrgreen: :twisted: :mrgreen: :twisted: :mrgreen:
        I heard enough about these two Americans. These two candidates will do nothing for America but only bring it down further. The situation is bad enough. If you do not know that you are not listening to/viewing the US news.
        Trump has been around for a long time. He is not a gentleman and no respecter of people. He with all his money will not make a good US president nor Hilary. After the November US election, you will find out.
        Americans have no choice now but to vote for either one on election day. I reiterate, may God help America!
