At a press conference at the Franklin Park Conservatory & Botanical Gardens in Columbus, Ohio, John Kasich, the state's Republican governor, announced that he has "suspended" his campaign for the U.S. presidency, cleveland.com reports [cleveland.com]. In a message on his Web site [johnkasich.com], Mr. Kasich called upon his supporters to "continue strengthening our families and our communities." Pressure from the Republican National Committee [wikipedia.org] may have been a factor in Kasich's decision, another cleveland.com report [cleveland.com] suggests.
