COLUMBUS — Ohio Gov. John Kasich announced on Wednesday that he was suspending his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination.

Kasich’s departure from the race came a day after U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz left the race, following real estate tycoon and reality TV star Donald Trump’s overwhelming victory in the Indiana primary.

With his two remaining rivals suspending campaign, Trump is now the presumptive nominee for the party going into the fall.

Kasich amasses 153 delegates in the race, compared to 1,047 for Trump and 565 from Cruz. His totals came mainly from second and third place finishes in states, as he only won his home state of Ohio.

Kasich’s campaign initially said the end of Cruz’s campaign would not impact their plans.

“Our party is facing a clear choice between positive solutions that can win in November and a darker path that will solve nothing and lead to Hillary Clinton in the White House, a Democrat Senate and a liberal Supreme Court,” Kasich’s campaign said in a statement on Tuesday night. “As long as it remains possible, Governor Kasich will fight for the higher path. Ted Cruz ran a strong campaign, stood for conservative principles and exposed a lot about Donald Trump. Governor Kasich will continue to campaign and offer the voters a clear choice for our country.”

Ohio Republican Party Chairman Matt Borges, one of Kasich’s biggest supporters, echoed the sentiment on Twitter Tuesday night, disputing the idea that Trump had sealed the deal.

“Until someone has 1,237, no one has 1,237,” Borges wrote of the delegate number needed for nomination.

If no candidate reaches the 1,237 number on the first ballot, delegates would no longer be bound to a particular candidate and could vote for alternatives on subsequent ballots. With no serious competition still in the race, Trump is now on track to surpass that figure.

On Wednesday morning, Kasich’s campaign vowed to fight on against Trump, but, by afternoon, he announced that a campaign event in Washington, D.C. was being canceled and word leaked to reporters that the governor was leaving the race by evening.
