Peter Hasson of the Daily Caller reports on Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s latest behind-the-scenes maneuvers.
The largest super PAC to back Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s 2016 presidential campaign has been quietly emailing his supporters over the last couple of months to promote the governor’s positions on national issues and soliciting donations.
Kasich recently embarked on a tour promoting a new campaign-style book and is widely thought within political circles to be positioning himself to challenge President Trump in the 2020 election.
The super PAC, Kasich for America, blasted out an email to supporters Sunday night as the Republican health care bill in the Senate looked to be on its last legs. The PAC highlighted Kasich’s recent statement slamming the bill as “unacceptable” and saying that it made “the same error as Obamacare — it’s not bipartisan.”
“Gov. John Kasich has always supported repealing Obamacare but has also stated that it must be replaced with meaningful reforms that ensure we’re not leaving our most vulnerable citizens behind,” the super PAC’s email stated, going on to highlight Kasich’s legislative accomplishments as governor.
