WASHINGTON:
Kasich's campaign abruptly cancelled an event in the Washington area and rescheduled a press conference for 5:00 pm (2100 GMT) in Ohio's capital Columbus.
Broadcaster MSNBC and others reported that a senior campaign advisor said that appearance would be Kasich's announcement that he is dropping out of the 2016 race.

The surprise move left Kasich as the sole remaining challenger to Trump, but like Cruz, Kasich is mathematically eliminated from winning the nomination outright.
