Oxon Hill, Md. – Dr. Ben Carson ended his presidential bid on Friday, announcing he is “leaving the campaign trail.”
He said, “But 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 it’s OK. It’s not a problem. I will still continue to be heavily involved in trying to save our nation.”
The crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference gave him a standing ovation when he made the announcement.
Wednesday morning, Carson said he didn’t “see a political path forward” but had not officially dropped out of the race.
