"I'm not closer. I mean, there's too much water under the bridge," Kasich said on NBC's "Meet the Press" in an interview broadcast Sunday.

"It's very, very likely I will not."

The Ohio governor said it's too early to make a blanket statement on whether or not he'll vote for his party's nominee.

"I'll decide what I want to decide and then I'll let people know when I want to," he said. "I'm not going to be hurried into this."

Kasich did, however, rule out voting for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton Hillary Diane Rodham ClintonJoe Biden looks to expand election battleground into Trump country Biden leads Trump by 12 points among Catholic voters: poll The Hill's Campaign Report: Biden goes on offense MORE.

"I'm not voting for Hillary. That's out of the question," he said.

When asked why he would rule out Clinton and not Trump, Kasich said "because I'm a Republican," adding that is "to some degree" due to party loyalty.

"Look, it is country first. And I am unlikely to cast that vote. The chances are minuscule," Kasich said about voting for Trump.

"What I'm disappointed with Hillary [is] she panders too much. And secondly, she's a top-down person. She believes in, you know, all this government, all this regulation. This is the 21st century. Drones, autonomous vehicles, Apple phones. I mean, this is a time for power to come from the bottom up, and I don't think she represents that."
