Ohio governor, ex-GOP presidential candidate, publishes book
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Gov. John Kasich’s new book, “Two Paths: America Divided or United,” provides a rare, and sometimes raw, behind-the-scenes look at being a 2016 presidential candidate.
The book, released Tuesday by Thomas Dunne Books, is roughly equal parts campaign-trail memoir, political biography and Kasich’s own self-help therapy session for living in a post-Donald Trump world.
Kasich, 64, expresses clear disappointment that his decades as a state legislator, congressman, business executive and governor failed to earn him the Republican Party’s nomination — especially over populist billionaire Donald Trump.
Competing in the crowded and fractious field felt at times like “walking up a down escalator,” he wrote.
