Carson Becomes Second Candidate to Back Trump by Caroline North 9th period

After dropping out of the presidential race March 4, Ben Carson announced recently his endorsement for Republican front-runner Donald Trump.  He made the announcement in a joint news conference in Florida ahead of that state's primary held the following Tuesday.  Trump says he is receptive to Carson's input particularly on education, given he is an acclaimed neurosurgeon while Carson publicizes that Trump is the best fit for our nation's next president. 

This event is significant to United States history because Carson's support of Donald Trump will influence the 2016 election.  Previous Carson supporters will now vote for Trump and increases the odds of Trump representing Republicans in the final election for the presidency.  Further, Ben Carson's endorsement might draw voters who were neither pro-Carson nor pro-Trump originally due to Carson's claim that while Trump holds an obnoxious personality in the public's eye, behind the scenes, he's a much more "thinking individual".
