Kasich not exiting the presidential race yet

Note to Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Donald Trump and anyone else who wants John Kasich to exit the race for the GOP presidential nomination: Not gonna do it. Not anytime soon, at least.

The Ohio governor tells CBS’s “Face the Nation” that for him, the goal is gathering delegates in such Republican contests as Massachusetts, Vermont, Virginia, Mississippi, Michigan and Illinois. He says, “I don’t have to win in these places, I just have to hang in there and continue to gather momentum.”

Kasich argues that besides, he’s the only governor left in the GOP field, now that former Florida governor Jeb Bush has exited.
