Ben Carson, the former neurosurgeon turned conservative sensation, is taking a major step toward a 2016 presidential bid by forming a political action committee and selecting the man who would run his campaign, The Washington Times has learned.
Emerging from two-days of meetings with supporters in Palm Beach, Fla., Dr. Carson told the Times on Friday morning he has selected Houston businessman Terry Giles to be his 2016 campaign chairman should he run and approved the formation of a PAC called One Nation.
“Now is the time to start all of the appropriate exploration and investigation, and put down the structure that is necessary,” Dr. Carson said in a phone interview.
Asked about the likelihood he will run for president in 2016, Dr. Carson said: “I would say we are definitely a step or two closer than we were a year ago.”
He said the outcome of the 2014 elections in which Republicans are trying to seize control of the Senate would be a major factor, and that his new PAC would try to support candidates with similar viewpoints as his.
Dr. Ben Carson does not shy away from the idea of running for President in 2016. He has yet to make any formal announcement but today he is one step closer to a campaign for 2016 or at least closer to making a decision. Seeing that Ben Carson is obviously not a politician its hard to say weather or not he will run for President in 2016. He is not following the ordinary path that most politicians take in order to run for President. All that we really know about a Carson 2016 campaign is that he is defiantly seriously considering a run. Leave a Reply. |
