“Ninety percent of the Republican Party supports him,” Kasich said. “It may be a shrinking Republican Party, but nevertheless.”
“Maybe somebody wants to run and make a statement and that’s fine, but I’ve never gotten involved in a political race where I didn’t think I could win,” he added.
Kasich, a frequent Trump critic who sought the GOP’s 2016 nomination, did hint that he may yet run for office again.
