Gov. John Kasich (R), “a blunt-spoken and unorthodox Republican who bucked his party by expanding Medicaid under President Obama’s health care law and says politicians must ‘reach out and help those who live in the shadows,’ is expected to announce Tuesday that he is joining his party’s long list of candidates for president,” the New York Times reports.
Washington Post: “Kasich would begin the race far back in the pack, according to most polls. But as the governor of one of the nation’s most important general election states, and with a political style unlike that of others in the race, Kasich’s advisers say they believe he can become a credible threat to win the nomination. His detractors question whether he has the discipline required to win a long and grueling presidential race.”
Columbus Dispatch: “Although Kasich and supporters say that his resume and experience are unmatched in the GOP field, including by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, concern about his temperament and emotional fitness for the presidency have seeped into the national media narrative.”
