Yes, it truly is the end of days...
Former rival Ben Carson has backed Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump, becoming the second former US presidential candidate to support the billionaire businessman in the race for the White House.
Dr Carson, a retired neurosurgeon who dropped out of the race on March 4, follows New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, a former candidate who also backed Mr Trump after earlier dropping out of the race for the party's nomination ahead of the November 8 presidential election.
Dr Carson made the announcement at a joint news conference with Mr Trump in Florida, ahead of that state's primary on Tuesday.
"We buried the hatchet. That was political stuff," he said at Mr Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club resort at Palm Beach.
"I have found in talking with him, that there's a lot more alignment, philosophically and spiritually, than I ever thought that there was," added Dr Carson.
The latest endorsement for Trump followed a CNN-hosted Republican debate in Miami, and gives the New York real estate magnate a boost just days before crucial nominating contests.
Republican primaries in five states, including Florida and Ohio, on March 15 will be critical for Mr Trump to cement his lead and to determine whether US Senator Marco Rubio of Florida and Ohio Governor John Kasich will be able to continue with their increasingly long-shot candidacies.
Mr Trump told the news conference that Dr Carson had not asked for any formal role, but praised his former rival's ideas on education.
"Ben's going to have a big, big part," he said.
Dr Carson, who had some support last year in opinion polls but whose campaign failed to garner backing in the early nominating contests, dropped out of the race last week.
On Friday he said that Mr Trump was sincere in his talk about making America great again, and that he is on board to help him.
