Two political outsiders have expanded the Republican field of White House hopefuls as former technology executive Carly Fiorina announced she’s running for President and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson was set to launch his bid as well on Monday.
Ms. Fiorina is likely to be the only prominent woman to seek the party’s nomination, with Mr. Carson the only likely African-American.
Both candidates begin the race as underdogs in a campaign expected to feature several seasoned politicians, among them former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, along with Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
