John Kasich, Ohio Governor and Republican presidential hopeful, will drop out of the race for the GOP nomination on Wednesday.
Kasich suffered a brutal defeat in Indiana on Tuesday night after a string of losses. Kasich has only managed to win one primary this cycle, his home state of Ohio.
Kasich's announcement comes after Ted Cruz dropped out of the race on Tuesday night.
MSNBC is reporting that a senior campaign adviser has confirmed the news to them. POLITICO confirmed that report. The Columbus Dispatch adds:
Ohio Gov. John Kasich abruptly canceled a planned trip to Washington today as some advisers have been suggesting he should end his presidential campaign. Kasich, who plans to make a statement in Columbus at 5 p.m. today, had planned to hold a major news conference upon his arrival at Dulles International Airport at 10:45 a.m. in suburban Washington. But Kasich's plane apparently never left Columbus. And by 11:30 a.m., reporters were told the press conference was cancelled.
