Gov. Kasich says no chance of 2020 presidential run with Colorado Gov. Hickenlooper on 'Meet the Press'

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Ohio Gov. John Kasich said during a Sunday "Meet the Press" interview that he's not considering running for president with Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper in 2020.

Axios first reported that the duo was mulling a "unity ticket" in an article published Friday. Hickenlooper, a Democrat, was said to have been Kasich's vice presidential candidate in a independent bid, USA Today reported.

Hickenlooper shot down the speculation in a series of tweets Friday.

The idea that Kasich could run for president as an independent was also tossed around earlier this year, after Buzzfeed News' Henry J. Gomez wrote, following an interview with the governor, that he "seems tempted by the idea of running for president as an independent." Kasich had not forcefully denied Friday's "unity ticket" report until Sunday's "Meet the Press" appearance.

2/3 Kasich is dapper & worldly, but knows nada about brewing beer. Loving the attention on our bipartisan work…

3/3 …but no ulterior motive. Not a unity ticket, just working with a new friend on hard compromises.

1. I think Kasich is running in 2020. He is a huge slimeball.
