Now, theretired surgeon is the first African-American to enter the 2016 presidential race. He is a socialconservative with no previous political experience.

She says her knowledge about thebusiness world makes her different than the rest of the candidates. She has been very criticalof the other woman running for president: Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. Ms. Fiorinaquestions some of Ms. Clinton's actions while she was U.S. secretary of state.

　　Mike Huckabee announced on Tuesday that he is running for president again. Mr. Huckabee isboth a Baptist preacher and a former governor of the state of Arkansas. When he first ran, in2008, he won the Iowa caucus. Mr. Huckabee brings to the race a social conservative viewthat is popular with evangelical Christians: he opposes abortion and gay marriage. Although hewon eight state primaries in 2008, Mr. Huckabee eventually ran out of money. At the time,analysts said he had trouble reaching beyond social conservatives in the Republican party. Theynow say that Mr. Huckabee and the other Republican candidates will talk about national securityand foreign policy issues.

　　Ford O'Connell is a Republican strategist.

　　"I think when all is said and done and we get to the general election in 2016, you're going tohave three issues: economic mobility, jobs and national security. And while they do overlap,the ability for Republicans to distinguish themselves with the Republican primary on nationalsecurity is going to be very, very important."

He is the sonand brother of two former U.S. presidents. Behind Mr. Bush in the polls is Wisconsin GovernorScott Walker. He is popular with Republicans for opposing labor unions.
