Republican Ohio Governor John Kasich told George Stephanopoulos of ABC in November that he was “very seriously” considering a presidential run.

“We need different leadership, there isn’t any question about it,” stated Kasich, who previously ran against Donald Trump in the 2016 GOP presidential primaries.

In an interview on Fox News last August, Kasich argued that he believed a fundamental problem in America was that many "have not come to understand what faith is."

"Loving your neighbor, elevating others sometimes in front of yourself, putting yourself in other people's shoes. And when we don't do that, we lose the essence of our country," said Kasich at the time.

"When my father and my uncle talked about the Great Depression, everybody pulled together and what we're seeing now is people pulling apart rather than coming together."

Kasich described this “coming together” as "an element of religiosity," saying that "we need the compass back” and that he believes this moral compass "comes from on high."
