Herman Cain Suspending 2012 Campaign For President
Herman Cain announced on Saturday that he is suspending his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination.
The news comes in the wake of Cain being accused of having an extramarital affair and sexual harassment charges from more than a decade ago resurfacing. The former CEO of Godfather's Pizza has vehemently denied any wrongdoing amid the controversy.
On Saturday, Cain called the allegations "false" and said that they have had a "tremendous" and "painful price" on his family. "That spin hurts," he explained.
His wife, Gloria Cain, stood behind him on stage as he spoke in their home stage of Georgia.
"I am at peace with my God, I am at peace with my wife and she is at peace with me," he said.
Looking to the future, Cain told his supporters that he is now turning to "Plan B," a new effort and website (TheCainSolutions.com) working "to be a voice for the people."
He said, "I am not going to be silenced and I am not going away."
As the GOP presidential primary race goes on, Cain signaled he could be expected to endorse a candidate in the contest "in the near future."
