Ben Carson told CNN that his backers aren’t going to let him quit the presidential race.
Said Carson: “I’m getting a lot of pressure to make sure I stay in the race. They’re reminding me that I’m here because I responded to their imploring me to get involved. And I respect that and I’m not just going to walk away from the millions of people who are supporting me.”
