BOSTON (AP) — Republican Gov. Charlie Baker has reiterated that he will not vote for Donald Trump in November.

Baker told reporters Wednesday that he now believes Trump will be his party’s nominee after Trump won Tuesday’s Indiana primary.

Texas U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz dropped out of the race after Trump’s win, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich is planning to end his campaign on Wednesday, according to three campaign officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press.

Baker says he “vehemently” disagrees with Trump on a number of issues.

He also says he “sincerely doubts” he would vote for Hillary Clinton, the likely Democratic nominee.

The governor says he will focus on helping Massachusetts Republicans on the November ballot.
