Conservative superstar Dr. Ben Carson is set to launch his new campaign superPAC with a nationwide phone call announcement Wednesday night.
Supporters can go online to register for the free phone call, which will take place between 8:15 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. Backers will have the opportunity to speak live with Dr. Carson as he launches his USA First PAC.
In an email invitation to supporters, Dr. Carson, a former neurosurgeon who is considering a bid for the GOP 2016 nomination, revealed that he would be making a “big announcement” during the teleconference.
Dr. Carson rose to political fame among conservatives after he challenged President Obama during a national prayer breakfast in February last year. His latest book “One Nation” is currently No. 3 on the New York Times best-seller list.
A draft movement independent of Dr. Carson has already been formed to encourage him to run for president in 2016.
