Ohio Gov. John Kasich will address the NAACP's annual convention in Cincinnati, a spokeswoman for the governor confirmed.

Kasich's speech, scheduled for Sunday at a yet-to-be announced time, will come a day before he travels to Cleveland but is not expected to attend the Republican National Convention next week. The spokeswoman declined to comment on the contents of his remarks.


Donald Trump turned down the opportunity to speak at the NAACP convention earlier this week, marking just the fourth time since 1980 that a major presidential candidate has not appeared at the event.
