Kasich: Today I prayed for Trump's success

Ohio Governor John Kasich said that he prayed for the success of president-elect Donald Trump on his plane on Thursday.

“Today I said my prayers on the plane for the success of Donald Trump,” he said, adding, “and I think as Americans we all need to come together because it's the lives of our children.”


Kasich also made a plea for all Americans to pray for Trump and said issues “won't be fixed overnight."

The Ohio Governor praised President Obama and Hillary Clinton’s embrace of the outcome of the election, calling it “inspirational."

He urged people protesting in the streets to “think about the fact that America works best when America is united.” He had refused to support Trump's run for the presidency, after losing to him in the Republican primary elections.
