Trump willing to consider Kasich as vice president
Ohio Governor John Kasich may end up serving as vice president for billionaire Donald Trump who is on a clear GOP path as he is ending his bid for the White House.
With Kasich and his ally, Texas Senator Ted Cruz, out of the race, Trump told CNN on Wednesday that he would "be interested in vetting John."
The real estate mogul, whose sweeping victories during the primaries have forced other Republican candidates to give up the race, noted that Kasich could even be "helpful" as the Ohio governor.
"I like John, I've had a good relationship with John, I've gotten along with him well," he added.
Meanwhile, Kasich was set to officially end his campaign, according to various sources speaking to US media outlets.
The GOP front-runner had previously attacked the governor over the fashion in which he eats, which he described as “disgusting.”
"Did you see him? He has a news conference all the time when he's eating. I have never seen a human being eat in such a disgusting fashion," Trump said during a rally in Rhode Island last month.
Trump’s insults against him continued up to last week.
"Every time you see him, he's eating," Trump said at a rally last week. "He's stuffing his face. I've never seen. The pizza. He ate a piece of pizza — I'm telling you, it was 4 or 5 inches long by 4 or 5 inches — and he couldn't get it in his mouth. And he's pushing it in with the fork and he's got 20 cameras around."
Kasich has also been grilled by Trump over endorsement of the North American Free Trade Agreement.
On Tuesday, Trump won the Indiana primary, which led to his presumptive nomination by the Republican Party.
