The Ohio primary on Tuesday will result in a winner-take-all contest with 66 delegates up for grabs. Polls indicate the primary will be a close contest between Kasich and Trump.
Romney will appear with Kasich in North Canton and Westerville, which is close to Kasich's home near Columbus. Kasich previously said his campaign would be suspended if he lost in Ohio.
"If we Republicans choose Donald Trump as our nominee, the prospect for a safe and prosperous future are greatly diminished," Romney said. "Here's what I know: Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud. His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University. He's playing the American public for suckers. He gets a free ride to the White House and all we get is a lousy hat."
