Carson Skipping Debate, Appears Ready to End Campaign

Ben Carson stated that there is no "political path forward" and appears to be ready to exit the race. He will not be participating in the upcoming debate and will be making a statement Friday regarding his role in the race. USA Today reported on the breaking news.

However, The Post reports, the retired neurosurgeon will not suspend his bid — at least not yet. Instead, Carson said he will discuss his campaign's future during a speech Friday at the Conservative Political Action Conference near Washington.
