Carly Fiorina has no intention of helping Donald Trump get elected

The Republican Party's lone female presidential candidate of 2016 will not help its presumptive nominee win the White House, sources close to Carly Fiorina tell the Washington Examiner.

After briefly serving as running mate to Ted Cruz, Donald Trump's last serious challenger for the GOP nomination, Fiorina so far has not followed other high-profile Republicans in endorsing The Donald, despite pledging to do so if he is chosen by her party. Instead, she has been busy campaigning in Kentucky for one-time rival Rand Paul's reelection to the Senate.

"It's too bad the GOP is nominating Trump," said Liz Mair, a former Fiorina adviser. "If it were anyone else, the party would really be in a position to benefit from her skills in this and other departments. But I don't see her and Trump getting on the same page."
