Carson officially ends White House bid
US Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson has officially ended his bid for the White House after failing to win any of the early states in the race for the November election.
'There are a lot of people who love me, they just won't vote for me,' Carson said in a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday.
Carson had announced on Wednesday he did not see a 'political path forward' in his campaign for the party's nomination, and had not attended the Republican debate in Michigan on Thursday.
Carson declined to endorse any candidate for the Republican nomination, although he said he had 'talked to all of them this week'.
The retired neurosurgeon said his country needed 'trickle-down ethics'. He said the ideal presidential candidate is ethical and accomplished, has clear policies and treats others well. He added whoever can check all of those boxes would be a 'great leader'.
