WASHINGTON — Former technology executive Carly Fiorina announced she's running for president, and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson launched his bid as well Monday, as the Republican field of hopefuls expands once more.
Fiorina is likely to be the only prominent woman to seek the GOP nomination, with Carson the only likely black candidate. They are both also political outsiders in a field likely to be dominated by governors, former governors and senators.
The two are not considered political allies and the timing of their announcements, planned weeks ago, is coincidental.
