John Kasich Admits He Cried After 2016 Loss to TrumpJoshua Caplan 21 Apr 2022
Former Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) admitted in a recent podcast that he cried following his loss to then-candidate Donald Trump in the 2016 Republican presidential primary.
“I was really hoping that we would block [Trump] and then people would come to their senses,” Kasich said on the Kasich & Klepper podcast, according to the Columbus Dispatch. “But when it was over, we got off the plane…I went behind this building, and I cried. I had one cry. Then I went to my daughter’s school – and that was really hard – and they had gotten wind of it and then they came out and gave me a big hug.” But then it was over. It was a wonderful experience.”
Kasich also discussed his time as governor, saying that while he enjoyed the job, he does not miss it.
“People say, ‘Do you miss being governor?’ It is a powerful position in the 7th-largest state,” he stated. “And I said no because I knew what was going to come, and the job doesn’t define me.”
Kasich, who now serves as a senior contributor to CNN, has repeatedly attacked Trump in recent years, taking aim at the former president for his America First politics and brash personal style.
