Getty Trump to Kasich: You're taking my votes

Ted Cruz is no longer the only candidate calling for John Kasich to drop out of the race.

Speaking Sunday in Milwaukee, Donald Trump said that the Ohio governor should drop out of the race, the Associated Press reported. Wisconsin's primary will be held Tuesday.


The real-estate mogul called out John Kasich’s campaign for losing.

"I said, 'Why is a guy allowed to run?' All he's doing is just he goes from place to place and loses," Trump said to reporters at a diner in Milwaukee.

Kasich responded to Trump’s call on him to drop from race on Twitter, writing: “That's not how our republic works, Donald. We'll keep fighting until someone reaches a majority of delegates.”

In their quest to secure enough delegates to win the Republican nomination, both Cruz and Trump have an interest in Kasich dropping out of the race. The Cruz campaign has called Kasich a “spoiler” and Cruz has explicitly called for Kasich to drop from the Republican race.

“Every day John Kasich stays in the race benefits Donald Trump," Cruz said on CNN in March.

For his part, Trump says that he could benefit from Kasich dropping out.

"He doesn't have to run and take my votes," Trump told reporters.

For his part, Kasich has no way of securing enough delegates before the convention, but could still be in the mix if none of the candidates obtain 1,237 delgates and there is a contested convention.
