“Nothing that has happened in the last 48 hours is surprising to me or many others,” Kasich said in a statement. “Many people were angry and questioned why I would not endorse Donald Trump or attend the Republican convention.”

“The actions of the last day are disgusting, but that’s not why I reached this decision, it has been an accumulation of his words and actions that many have been warning about,” the Ohio governor said.

“I will not vote for a nominee who has behaved in a manner that reflects so poorly on our country. Our country deserves better.”

Kasich has withheld his support for the Republican nominee and said last month that it is “unlikely” he would vote for Trump but has not declared his opposition until now.
