Carson Says He'll Stay in Race No Matter What Happens in N.H.

Ben Carson is here to stay, despite the ups and downs of his campaign.

"For many months, the political class, pundits, the media have tried to ignore or bury me," Carson said in his closing statements during Saturday night's Republican debate hosted by ABC News. "They say that politics is too complex and too sleazy. You can't survive.

"Well, guess what? I'm still here. And I'm not going any place, either."

Before voting began on the night of the Iowa caucuses, Carson's campaign made known that the former neurosurgeon will be returning to his home in Florida to get new clothes.

This led to rumors that Carson would be dropping out, which Carson made clear was not the case.
