Governor on CNN on Monday night

And, the winner is � Anderson Cooper.

From The Dispatch to the national TV pundits, journalists have been pleading with both the remnants of the failed presidential campaign and the governor�s office to land the first interview with John Kasich.

The Republican has not said a word publicly since he suspended his presidential campaign on May 4 in Columbus.

That will change at 8 p.m. Monday when Kasich is interviewed on Anderson Cooper 360 on CNN.

Donald Trump and the Republican Party will watch with interest.

Will Kasich express his support for the GOP nominee, as he said early on, or will he take a different tact in the wake of concerns he expressed about Trump�s policies and tone?
