Carson Tells WBAL: “Chances Are Stronger Than Not” That He’s Running For President

The former neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins said on WBAL News Radio 1090 that the “chances are stronger than they are not” when it comes to his possible candidacy.

Carson said that he would run as a Republican and that running as a third party candidate or as an Independent would be “highly destructive.” Even though he is leaning toward running, Carson said it’s “not something he particularly wants to do.” He said it’s analogous to be drafted, like those who joined the military after the country was attacked.

When it comes to the timing of making his decision, Carson said that he would likely wait until the spring, but that the mid-term election in November would play a huge role in his decision making. “I would look for a substantial shift in the Senate” as an indicator that the electorate is ready for a change.
