“We’re going to have to be in the air, and then we’re going to have to be on the ground, and Americans are going to have to be there. You know why? Because nobody else is going to do this,” Kasich said, according to 6ABC.

The governor also criticized candidate Donald Trump’s plan to ban Muslim individuals from coming into the country, Philly Voice reported.

Kasich also criticized the American government saying that it is “stuck,” according to Philly Voice.

Other topics at the town hall meeting surrounded transportation, energy, and creating outreach to minorities.

Although the Ohio governor won in his home state, 6ABC said, it is difficult for Kasich to win a majority of delegates before the national GOP convention this July.

Trump led the way through his win in Florida, North Carolina and Illinois, Philly Voice reported.
