Cain Reassesses US Presidential Bid, Gingrich Rises in Polls
November 30, 2011
Republican presidential candidate, Herman Cain makes a point during a speech at a campaign rally, in Dayton, Ohio, November 30, 2011.
In U.S. presidential politics, the focus is on Republican White House contender Herman Cain. Cain says he is reassessing his campaign in the wake of allegations of an extramarital affair, which Cain denies. Meanwhile, the Republican field is looking more like a showdown between former U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney
.
A day after Cain told aides that he is reassessing his presidential bid, the Georgia businessman appeared defiant at a campaign stop in the Midwestern state of Ohio.
“The voice of the people is more powerful than the voice of the media," said Cain.
Cain is denying allegations of an extramarital affair with Ginger White, who told ABC television's
Good Morning America
program that she was involved with Cain on and off during a 13-year period.
“It was a very casual affair," said White. "I’ve received gifts and money for the last 2.5 years consistently. This was not sex for cash.”
The allegation of an affair comes in the wake of sexual harassment allegations leveled at Cain by four women a few weeks ago, which led to a loss of support in public opinion surveys.
