Ben Carson's New Hampshire PAC staff defects to Cruz
By Tal Kopan, CNN
Updated 2028 GMT (0428 HKT) January 11, 2016 | Video Source: CNN
Washington (CNN)One of Ben Carson's top New Hampshire supporters is officially switching his allegiance to Republican presidential rival Ted Cruz, saying Carson no longer has a chance to win.
Sam Pimm, a veteran conservative New Hampshire operative, previously served as executive director of the pro-Carson super PAC the 2016 Committee, but officially made the swap on Sunday, he told CNN.
Politico and WMUR were first to report the news.
Also Sunday, all the remaining New Hampshire PAC staff resigned from their posts and publicly endorsed the Texas Republican.
Though Pimm left his post at the Carson-supportive super PAC before then, he had remained loyal to Carson until this weekend.

The exodus continues.
Two more campaign staffers are leaving Dr. Ben Carson's presidential campaign. Michael Zarlenga, the campaign's general counsel, and Renee Burchard, it's operations director, recently notified Carson they are departing the struggling campaign, according to three sources with direct knowledge of the changes. Neither Zarlenga nor Burchard could immediately be reached for comment, and the campaign, reached Monday morning, did not have immediate comment.
