Former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson endorsed former President Trump in a speech in Iowa on Sunday.

Ahead of Trump’s scheduled address, Carson introduced the leading 2024 GOP presidential candidate as “my friend and your friend, and a friend of America.”

“As I stand here today, I want to offer my most confident and full endorsement of Donald J. Trump,” said Carson, who ran for president in 2016 and then served in Trump’s administration.

“Donald Trump believes in our freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the right to keep and bear arms,” he added. “So we can fix our country, and we can make America great again. And President Donald J. Trump is the person to do that.”

Carson quoted Benjamin Franklin, who said America is a republic if you can keep it, and he said, “The way we can keep it is we can put Donald J. Trump back in office.”

Our nation is in desperate need of strong leadership. A President who fights for the American people, our freedoms, our safety, and our future. Donald J. Trump is that leader and I am proud to give him my full endorsement for President of the United States today.

Ben Carson, a great and a good man.

[Wuli]

Ben will help Trump with some “moderate” conservatives.

I like Ben.

I have heard him speak in person.

He is just as you’ve ever seen him, the same man always.

He shatters the “white supremacy has been holding us down” meme (raised by a single mom and he goes on to become a brain surgeon).

[frank ballenger]

He, like Trump, didn’t fit right in with the Swamp elites. Both outsiders who couldn’t be controlled.

Good guys, both of them.

Ben Carson...VP nominee?

[wild74]

Better endorse him or get thrown under the bus like most of Trumps staff

[dforest]

You really don’t tell the truth much. Is it painful Butthurt?

Trump and Carson are friends. Always have been.

[conservative98]

We shall see. 3 weeks ago they were discussing this on the Greg Kelly show. Greg said it wouldn’t be Noem for a variety of reasons and he didn’t think Trump needed a woman. He said he thinks Trump’s VP will be Ben Carson.

The lockdown, because g pharma blank check prez. He offered the dems amnesty. He gave the dems a bumpstock ban. Why in the universe would we want the prez who gave fauci a commendation.
Covidocrat tyranny meds to die.

One of the few of the administration that was loyal, competent, and without an agenda. A good man.

[Reily]

Carson would be a good choice!

“I like Ben Carson even more now.”

Well some of us, like myself, have always liked Ben Carson a lot.😆

Well some of us, like myself, have always liked Ben Carson a lot.

I've been a Ben fan for a long time. Have you ever been tired but still on edge? Not into drinking or meds? Ben is perfect in those times - it's very relaxing to watch a video from when he ran from President as he speaks slowly and his eyes get more lidded.

I don't think he takes drugs - he is drugs. His painting of him and Jesus in bathrobes would definitely get the thumbs up from Dali.

I like Ben Carson even more now.

I liked him when I read his book; nothing has changed except to reinforce that first impression.
