John Kasich announced he is dropping out of the race for US president.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Republican presidential candidate John Kasich announced he is dropping out of the race for US president.

"I have always said that the Lord has a purpose for me as he has for everyone, and as I suspend my campaign today, I have renewed faith, deeper faith, that the Lord will show me the way forward and fulfil the purpose of my life," Kasich said on Wednesday.

Kasich’s withdrawal from the election makes Donald Trump the presumed nominee of the Republican Party.
