Ben Carson recently addressed speculations about securing a specific role in the White House, confirming that he isn’t planning to assume any particular position at this time. While he did not expand on the details of his involvement, he stated that he would soon be meeting with Trump.
Carson, a retired neurosurgeon who has been a staunch supporter of Trump, has been rumored to be a potential candidate for various positions. However, he has made it clear that he does not intend to accept a specific role. Despite this, his announcement of an upcoming meeting with Trump has fueled further speculation.
His statements came as a surprise because previously, he was considered for a number of roles including Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in the Trump administration. But Carson’s current stance dispels those rumors and clarifies that he would not be joining the administration in a specific role.
It remains to be seen what role, if any, Carson will play in the future. Whether his meeting with Trump leads to a new role or merely serves to strengthen their relationship remains speculative. Despite his clear statement, the ambiguity lingers due to his close association with Trump over the years. This situation further highlights the uncertainty and the intrigue surrounding the personnel selections in the ongoing administration.
