WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Retired physician Ben Carson told a Florida television station on Sunday that he is running for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.

"I'm willing to be part of the equation and, therefore, I'm announcing my candidacy for president of the United States of America," Carson said in an interview with CBS affiliate WPEC-TV in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Carson, 63, who is popular with the populist conservative Tea Party movement, plans to make an announcement in Detroit on Monday.

He's not my friend or my choice for president, but he's interesting.

What do you mean by 'interesting'?

I think his work as a neurosurgeon is undoubtedly impressive, but I think his political views couldn't be more harmful for America

His comments about homosexuality are pretty abhorrent too

You said it better than I did. He's a great doctor, but is kinda politically "out there". Very interesting.
