Once one of the most powerful women in the American corporate
world, Fiorina announced her bid on ABC News' "Good Morning
America" show.
"Yes, I am running for president. I think I'm the best person
for the job because I understand how the economy actually works.
I understand the world, who's in it, how the world works," she
said.
Fiorina registers near the bottom of polls of the dozen or so
Republican hopefuls and has never held public office.
But she has already attracted warm receptions at events in the
early voting state of Iowa where she is positioning herself as a
conservative, pro-business Republican highly critical of
Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
Fiorina was forced by HP to resign in 2005 as the tech company
struggled to digest Compaq after a $19 billion merger.
