ATLANTA, Dec. 2 (UPI) -- U.S. Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain, facing infidelity and sexual harassment allegations, says he'll reveal Saturday if he will stay in the race.

The former Godfather's Pizza head said earlier this week he was reassessing his chances of capturing the GOP nomination and would discuss the latest allegations with his wife, Gloria.

Cain said his decision will be based on whether his ability to raise campaign funds has been damaged significantly.

"Tomorrow in Atlanta I will be making an announcement, but nobody is going to get me to make that prematurely," The Atlanta Journal-Constitution quoted him as saying Friday. "That is all that there is to that. Tomorrow we will be opening our headquarters in … Georgia where we will also clarify … exactly what the next steps are."

Ginger White, an Atlanta businesswoman who said she had a 13- or 14-year affair with Cain, appeared on MSNBC Thursday night and apologized to Gloria Cain.

"I am not a cold-hearted person. I am a mother of two kids. And of course my heart bleeds for this woman because I am a woman and being in a situation like this cannot be fun," White said. "And I am deeply, deeply sorry if I have caused any hurt to her and to his kids, to his family."

Earlier in the day on ABC's "Good Morning America," she said she did not think Cain was fit to be president.

Cain has denied having a physical relationship with White but admits having given her money, the Los Angeles Times said.
