In US, Ohio Governor John Kasich has dropped out of the presidential race after struggling to gain traction against Republican front-runner Donald Trump.
Kasich’s departure comes a day after Trump’s victory in the Indiana primary. This leaves Trump as the only candidate remaining in the Republican race. His closest challenger, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, had dropped out on Tuesday.
Kasich had vowed to stay in the race all the way until the Republican convention this summer, despite losing every contest except his home state. Trump holds a commanding lead and is closing in on the nomination.It is now certain that he will have the 1,237 delegates needed to become the nominee before the July convention in Cleveland, Ohio.
