GOP candidate Ben Carson says in statement that he does not see 'a political path forward' after Super Tuesday results but his 'grassroots movement' will continue; Carson will discuss campaign future on Friday at CPAC in Washington, DC

and
But Carson did not formally suspend his campaign. Instead, he said in the statement that he has decided to make a speech about his political future on Friday at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland, just outside Washington.
I do not see a political path forward in light of last evenings Super Tuesday primary results, the statement said. However, this grassroots movement on behalf of We the People will continue. Along with millions of patriots who have supported my campaign for President, I remain committed to Saving America for Future Generations.
The announcement served as an acknowledgment that Carsons candidacy is all but over following a disappointing showing in the 11 states that held contests on Tuesday.
