Roughly three weeks after suspending his presidential campaign, Ohio Gov. John Kasich is still not sold on supporting Donald Trump's White House bid.
Kasich met with Ohio media this week in his first local interview since putting his presidential bid on hold. According to
Cleveland.com, the Republican said he wants to write a book about his experiences on the presidential campaign trail.
"How can I let an experience like this not be written about? I expect to, hopefully, meet with publishers in the next three weeks or so and talk about the country, the direction, how we got here and what the future is," Kasich said.
Regarding Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, Kasich would not commit to throwing his support behind the real estate mogul.
"Unless I see a fundamental change, it's really hard for me to do a merger," Kasich said, speaking in business terms. "If the values are not somewhat similar — if the culture is not somewhat similar — it's hard to do a merger. ... If he changes, that's a whole new ballgame."
Kasich noted that he and his family do not like Trump's "negativity." But he said he won't vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton.
The Columbus Dispatch quoted Kasich talking about Trump's tendency to "run people into the ditch."
In Kasich's only other interview since exiting the presidential race on May 4, he told
CNN last week he was "undecided" on whether not to vote for Trump.
