His decision to end his campaign comes a day after his other remaining rival, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, announced that he was suspending his own campaign.
"I have always said that the Lord has a purpose for me as he has for everyone”, Kasich said in the announcement.
After the withdrawal of Cruz from the race, Kasich was the last remaining challenger to Donald Trump, who has been sweeping Republican primaries throughout the election cycle. Cruz dropped his bid after a loss to Trump in Indiana, a state that the Texas senator had hoped to win./.
