Former neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson has formally established a presidential exploratory committee, announcing the step towards a possible run for the GOP nomination with a new web site and video.
"With the launch of this web site, I formally establish what is called a presidential exploratory committee to examine whether I should become a candidate for president of the United States," he says in the video. "In so doing, I very much need and look forward to your feedback and help."
"If I run for president, it will be because I know what it's like to grow up in a tough neighborhood and feel marginalized," adds Carson, who is African-American and grew up in inner-city Detroit. "If I run, it will be because I know firsthand that quality education is the ladder to climb out of poverty and dependence."
The site includes the tagline: "Unite Heal Thrive."
