Carly Fiorina Officially Enters 2016 GOP Presidential Race: VIDEO

Fiorina

Carly Fiorina, a former CEO of Hewlett-Packard, announced on Good Morning America today that she will seek the Republican nomination for president, USA Today reports:

Fiorina’s business record is also a likely target for opponents, given her forced removal from the top job at Hewlett-Packard in 2005. She also lacks political experience and lost her only previous race for public office, a 2010 bid to unseat Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif.

The latest Republican candidate plans to start her official campaign with an online town hall Monday via the app Periscope. Fiorina also plans a tour of early caucus and primary states over the next several days, including stops in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina.

Fiorina joins Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, and Ted Cruz, who have all formally declared their campaigns. Ben Carson is expected to announce his campaign plans earlier today while Mike Huckabee is expected do so on Tuesday. 

In February, Fiorina said that “the worst thing the Supreme Court can do right now” is legalize marriage equality nationwide.
