Ben Carson Announces Presidential Exploratory Committee in New Video

Ben Carson Announces Presidential Exploratory Committee in New Video (Mediaite)

In the exact opposite of breaking news, neurosurgeon headline-generator Ben Carson announced an exploratory committee for a 2016 presidential run.

Carson, who has teased a presidential run for a while now, has fared well in early polls of the 2016 GOP field. The only non-politician of the bunch, he largely established his brand through speaking engagements and Fox News punditry.

As a former doctor, Carson made healing the body politic the thematic motif of his introductory video. Over a major key melody Carson emphasized bolstering education, along with nods to a stronger foreign policy and generational debt.
