Ben Carson to endorse Donald Trump in Florida on Friday



Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson is set to endorse Donald Trump in Florida on Friday, a person familiar with the situation confirmed to CBS News, giving the GOP front-runner a boost ahead of key primaries in Florida and Ohio next Tuesday.

The endorsement from Carson is arguably the biggest Trump has received since New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie backed him in February, and could help Trump with the evangelical and Republican base voters that helped fuel Carson's candidacy.

Carson suspended his campaign in an appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference just last Friday, two days after he announced he didn't see a "path forward" in the race.

In an interview on Fox News Radio Thursday, Carson hinted at his support for the GOP real estate mogul. Asked whether he was planning to back Trump, he replied: "Let's put it this way, I'm certainly leaning."
