WASHINGTON — Gov. John Kasich says he’s still not ready to endorse Donald Trump as the Republican Party presidential nominee.
Kasich says, “I’m not making any final decision yet but at this point I just can’t do it.”
Kasich, who finished well behind Trump in the delegate hunt, concedes in an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that he’s feeling pressure from some circles to embrace Trump.
He says there are people “who pound on me,” but adds that “I’m not prepared to do it.” He says Trump is “going to have to change.”
He says, “It’s difficult. … There’s this thing called Republican loyalty.”
Kasich declines to speculate on any moves by GOP House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, saying “they don’t care what I think.”
