After Cruz drops out, Kasich tells voters 'now more than ever there are two paths'
And then there were two: On Tuesday night, after Ted Cruz dropped out of the Republican presidential race, John Kasich told voters that "now more than ever, there are two paths."
Earlier in the day, after coming in last place in the Indiana Republican primary, the Kasich campaign announced that the Ohio governor was staying in the race unless one of the other candidates reached 1,237 bound delegates before the convention. Now that it's down to just Kasich and Donald Trump, Kasich is sharing on Twitter a video reminding people that he is a very different person from Trump.
Kasich also had kind words for Cruz, telling him he should be "proud of his strong and disciplined campaign" and saying "Texas is lucky to have you."
