Ohio Gov. John Kasich is reportedly set to drop out of the presidential race, according to NBC News ' Andrea Mitchell.

Multiple oulets confirmed that the governor will officially suspend his campaign later on Wednesday. Kasich's campaign scrapped a press conference planned for early Wednesday morning and instead announced the governor would make a statement in Columbus at 5 p.m. ET.


The Kasich campaign didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump all but sealed up the nomination following a landslide win Tuesday night in Indiana's primary.

Kasich was the last major Republican presidential candidate remaining in the race. Sen. Ted Cruz dropped out Tuesday night following the results of the Indiana primary.


The Ohio governor's campaign never really got off the ground. Though he picked up a handful of delegates in several nominating contests and won his home state's primary, the governor did not take home any other primaries or caucuses, and won few delegates in the last month.

Even after the Indiana loss, Kasich's team insisted that the governor would stay in the race until the Republican National Convention in July. On Wednesday morning, Kasich tweeted out a Star Wars parody video claiming that Kasich was the "only hope" to defeat Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton.
