Carson Tells Supporters He Has 'No Path Forward' in Campaign

Ben Carson, retired neurosurgeon and presidential candidate says he will not attend Thursday night's GOP Presidential debate.

"Even though I will not be in my hometown of Detroit on Thursday, I remain deeply committed to my home nation, America," Carson said.

Although Super Tuesday's primary results show Carson has not won a state in the Republican race, he will continue his campaign.

"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," he said.

"Along with millions of patriots who have supported my campaign for president, I remain committed to Saving America for Future Generations. We must not depart from our goals to restore what God and our Founders intended for this exceptional nation."

Armstrong Williams, Carson's longtime business manager, told the Associated Press it's "just the reality" that "there's only one candidate in this 2016 election on the GOP side, and his name is [Donald] Trump."

It was not immediately clear whether Carson will officially suspend his campaign, but Williams says he no longer will actively seek votes.

Carson is expected to make a speech on his political future on Friday at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland.

He also spoke to evangelicals at Regent University earlier this week.
