John Richard Kasich is an American politician who served as the 69th Governor of Ohio from 2011 to 2019. "Each of us searching for justice. And purpose. We can all see what's going on in our country today. And all the questions that are facing us and no one person or party has all the answers. What we do know is we can do better than what we have been seeing today for sure. And I know that Joe Biden with his experience and his wisdom and decency can bring us together to help us find that better way. I'm sure there are Republicans and independents who couldn't imagine crossing over to support a Democrat. They believe he may turn sharp left and leave them behind. I don't believe that. I know the measure of the man. Reasonable. Faithful, respectful and no one pushes Joe around. Joe Biden is a man for our times. Times that call for all of us to take off partisan hats and put the nation first for ourselves and our children. When America chooses the right path and pulls together, we can dream big dreams. And we can see the top of the mountain as a United States of America. With a soul that is a beacon of freedom to the entire world."
