Herman Cain, a former Godfathers Pizza chief executive who ran for
president as a Republican in the 2012 campaign pushing a simplified tax
plan he called 9-9-9, has died. He was 74 years old.
Mr. Cain, who recently joined Newsmax TV and was set to launch a weekly
show, died in an Atlanta-area hospital where he had been ill for several
weeks after being diagnosed with Covid-19. His death was announced in a
statement sent from his verified Twitter account Thursday.
Roughly 10 days before his hospital admission, he attended a rally for
President Trump in Tulsa, Okla.
Mr. Cain, who served as chief executive of Godfathers Pizza in the 1980s
and 1990s, briefly moved to the front of the Republican presidential
pack in late 2011 with strong debate performances and a tax plan that
proposed a 9% personal income tax, a 9% federal sales tax, and a 9%
corporate tax.
Republican voters said they liked his image as an outsider and his
business experience. Mr. Cain withdrew from the race amid allegations of
harassment, which he denied.
After suspending his presidential bid, Mr. Cain worked as a paid speaker
and political commentator who later offered vocal support of Mr. Trump
and his policies.
Mr. Cain was also considered by Mr. Trump for a position on the Federal
Reserve Board. At the time, he said Mr. Trump was attracted to his
business background. His supporters also pointed to his experience in
the early 1990s as a member of the Kansas City Feds board of directors,
a job that carries no vote on monetary policy.
He ended up withdrawing his name from consideration, saying he did so
primarily because of the salary, not the Senate opposition he faced.
