Former Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who has flirted with challenging President Trump, appeared to rule out a run for the White House in 2020, then later walked back that statement.

“There’s no path right now for me,” Kasich told CNN on Friday. “I don’t see a way to get there. Ninety percent of the Republican Party supports [Trump]. It may be a shrinking Republican Party, but nevertheless, I’ve got friends all over the country. There is not a path. There’s not the support for that.”
