Republican presidential contenders, John Kasich and Marco Rubio, began backpeddling support Saturday for Donald Trump becoming the party's nominee.
Gov. Kasich of Ohio, facing a primary election in his home state on Tuesday, told reporters that Trump is "getting close" to being disqualified from being the Republican nominee.
"He's got to tone it down, because pitting one group against another is toxic and divisive," Kasich said.
"There is no place for a national leader to prey on the fears of people who live in our great country," he said earlier.
The governor's comments came after a day of Trump rallies in the Buckeye State, where the boisterous presidential contender from New York managed to attack just about everyone from Kasich and Rubio, to Sen. Ted Cruz and Hillary Clinton.
Sen. Rubio also wavered Saturday on his pledge to support Trump for president if he wins the Republican nomination in July.
"It is getting harder every day," Rubio told reporters.
