Cain Re-examines Candidacy in the Republican Primary
Herman Cain informed his campaign team Tuesday that he would re-examine his candidacy for the Republican nomination for the American presidency in 2012, following an accusation of adultery, several news sources reported.
His deputy campaign manager, Linda Hansen, reported to ABC News that Cain, the only black man among the eight Republican presidential candidates, was going to focus on his intention to claim the highest office.
Monday, a woman declared on television that for 13 years, she had been a mistress of Cain’s, who is a former director of a pizzeria chain and has already been accused by four women of sexual harassment while he was ahead in the polls, together with favorite Mitt Romney. He has since been left behind by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
The magazine National Review reported that Cain admitted to knowing his latest accuser “for several years,” but denied having an affair with her. He maintains that he came to her aid financially in the past “because she was unemployed, on the street, desperate,” declared the candidate, according to the magazine.
