Ben Carson bows out of Presidential race.

Ben Carson has decided to suspend his bid for the presidency, the retired neurosurgeon announced Friday, speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference in NationalHarbor, Maryland.
"Even though I might be leaving the campaign trail, you know there’s a lot of people who love me, they
just won’t vote for me. But I will still continue to be heavily
involved in trying to save our nation," he said.
The outgoing candidate peppered his speech with implicit warnings to the country about its future, both for fellow candidates and for the media, which intensely
scrutinized claims about his biography throughout the
course of his campaign.
“You don’t need to have much of a developed brain to react, to react in fear," Carson said in urging a more thoughtful, productive national political discourse.
"Animals can do that; lizards do that.”
Ben Carson further appealed to the audience to get active and informed.
“We cannot continue to allow ourselves to be influenced
and molded by the political class and by the media. That
is going to destroy us," he said, remarking that it's "kind
of sad" that the press is the only business protected by
the Constitution "because they were supposed to be the
allies of the people."
Ben Carson made his exit known from the race on Wednesday
following a string of dismal performances in primaries
and caucuses, in his statement that he saw no path
to claim the Republican nomination.
"I do not see a political path forward in light of last
evening’s Super Tuesday primary results," Carson said in
the statement released Wednesday, a day before he skipped the 11th Republican debate in his hometown of Detroit.
The following day, he danced around whether he was
formally leaving the race. “I want people to start thinking about the real issues that are threatening
America right now; those issues are not how big someone’s hands are, or how long someone’s nose is,"
Earlier on Friday, it was announced that Ben Carson will serve as national chairman of My Faith Votes, a group focused on Christian voter turnout.
We wish you all the best.
