Kasich campaign calls off 2 Indiana events after Cruz deal

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Republican presidential candidate John Kasich is calling off two planned public events in Indiana after his agreement to stand aside for Ted Cruz in the state.

Kasich had planned Tuesday events in Indianapolis and Noblesville for Tuesday, but he announced a deal Sunday to give Cruz "a clear path" against Donald Trump going into Indiana's May 3 primary.

Kasich Indiana campaign spokesman Pete Seat says the Ohio governor will still travel to Indianapolis on Tuesday for a private fundraising event.

Kasich said Monday in Philadelphia that he isn't telling Indiana Republicans not to vote for him. He says he simply agreed not to spend "resources" in Indiana.
