Report: Ben Carson May Have to Start Flying Commercial Again
Ben Carson is determined to stay in this race until the money dries out, and the money is drying out.
According to the Washington Post, Carson’s campaign—a 125-person Sisyphean operation—will shed around 50 employees as he limps through New Hampshire primary next week.
The paper reports the departing staffers “mostly work in field operations and at his headquarters in Northern Virginia.”
Even worse—he’ll probably have to start flying commercial again:
Salaries are being significantly reduced. Carson’s traveling entourage will shrink to only a handful of advisers. And instead of flying on private jets, Carson may soon return to commercial flights.
Was Carson’s campaign “successful?” According to the definition of the word, no. But it was a hell of a book tour.
