Following a dismal Super Tuesday showing, Dr. Ben Carson issued a statement yesterday afternoon in which he all but suspended his presidential campaign. "I do not see a political path forward in light of last evening's Super Tuesday primary results,” he said. “However, this grassroots movement on behalf of 'We the People' will continue."
Carson will skip tonight’s GOP debate in his hometown of Detroit, but is expected to deliver a speech at CPAC tomorrow. Earlier rumors suggested that Carson may consider jumping into the open FL senate seat now that he has retired to West Palm Beach. The candidate filing deadline isn't until May 6, so there is plenty of time for him to make a decision.
The retired neurosurgeon indicated he will use the annual conservative gathering to address his political future.
