WASHINGTON (AP) - John Kasich plans to end his bid for the White House, making Donald Trump the presumptive Republican nominee for president.

Three campaign officials who spoke to The Associated Press said the Ohio governor plans to announce his decision in a statement from his home state later Wednesday.

The officials spoke anonymously because they are not authorized to disclose Kasich's decision.
