Morning Brief: March 3

There may soon be one less GOP candidate. But Ben Carson hasn't made it entirely clear yet. He says there's "no path forward" in his White House Bid. It sounds like he's dropping out, but he's only officially dropped out of the next GOP debate. Carson says he'll give more details on Friday when he speaks at a conservative conference in Washington. If he truly is dropping out, that narrows the GOP field to four potentials, although many at this point believe Donald Trump has the nomination in the bag.
