Two political outsiders have expanded the Republican field of White House hopefuls as former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina announced her bid for president and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson launched his bid as well May 4. Fiorina is likely to be the only prominent woman to seek the party's nomination, with Carson the only likely African-American.

Both Fiorina and Carson begin the race as underdogs in a campaign expected to feature several seasoned politicians, including former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. (AP)
