Dr. Ben Carson: Not Attending GOP Debate But Not Out of Race. Yet.
Wednesday Dr. Ben Carson issued a statement saying he will not attend Thursday’s GOP debate but stopped short saying he’s dropping out of the presidential race.
Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson announced Wednesday that he sees no “political path forward” after his Super Tuesday losses — and will not attend the upcoming Fox News debate.
“I have decided not to attend the Fox News GOP Presidential Debate tomorrow night in Detroit,” he said in a statement Thursday. “Even though I will not be in my hometown of Detroit on Thursday, I remain deeply committed to my home nation, America. I do not see a political path forward in light of last evening’s Super Tuesday primary results.
“However, this grassroots movement on behalf of “We the People” will continue. Along with millions of patriots who have supported my campaign for President, I remain committed to Saving America for Future Generations.”
Dr. Carson said he will discuss his decision more during his speech at CPAC this Friday. Read his entire statement here.
