Ohio governor says second-place New Hampshire finish is drawing voters for a fresh look. John Kasich isn’t sure how he got to be the runner-up to Donald Trump in Tuesday’s New Hampshire GOP primary, an achievement that is drawing more South Carolina voters to his under-the-radar presidential campaign.
“Frankly no one would have thought I would finish in second place, way ahead of everybody else, in New Hampshire,” Mr. Kasich told a crowd of about 150 people. “Nobody even knew what my name was, right?’’
He added: “People are starting to pay attention and they’re either going to like me or they’re not,” Mr. Kasich said.
The pitch from the Ohio governor and former congressman: I’m not an “establishment” candidate but I’m not “anti-establishment” either.
