Ben Carson Ends Presidential Campaign
Republican Presidential candidate Ben Carson is ending his campaign after a poor finish across the Super Tuesday primaries.
Carson said in a statement Wednesday that he sees “no path forward” to the nomination and he will not attend Thursday’s GOP debate in Michigan.
Armstrong Williams, Carson’s longtime business manager, told the Associated press that it’s “just the reality” that “there’s only candidate in this 2016 election on the GOP side, and his name is Donald Trump.”
Williams also added that Senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz also “have no path” and should drop out.
It was not immediately clear whether Carson will officially suspend his campaign, but Williams says he will no longer actively seek votes.
Carson is expected to offer more details when he speaks Friday at the CPAC gathering.
