Since the primary-season contests began in February, Kasich has only one victory – in his home state of OH – and often finished behind Trump and Cruz.
Walker is following through on a promise made at the first Republican debate last summer – when the candidates vowed to support the eventual nominee. Ted Cruz, announced he was suspending his campaign.
Meantime, on the Democratic side, front-runner Hillary Clinton lost the IN primary to rival Bernie Sanders, but Buffalo State political scientist Anthony Neal doesn’t think she need to worry.
Clinton is already suiting up for a fight against the likely Republican nominee, Donald Trump, after he won a landslide victory in IN on Wednesday, forcing the other GOP candidates out of the race.

“I have committed to supporting the nominee chosen by Republican voters, and Donald Trump, the presumptive nominee, is now on the verge of clinching that nomination”, McConnell said in a one-paragraph statement.

Trump must still ensure that delegates chosen to attend the convention in Cleveland in July will be amenable to his cause.

“I would be interested in vetting John”, he said.
