In recent weeks, rumors have swirled that President Trump may nominate former Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Dr. Ben Carson for the role of Surgeon General.<\/p>\n

On Sunday morning, Dr. Carson laid those rumors to rest.<\/p>\n

In a post on X, Dr. Carson wrote, \u201cI am excited to speak with President Trump about how I will continue to advance the America First agenda, and I am meeting with him in the near future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carson added, \u201cHowever, contrary to reports, I will not be serving as the Surgeon General.\u201d<\/p>\n

I am excited to speak with President Trump about how I will continue to advance the America First agenda, and I am meeting with him in the near future.<\/p>\n

However, contrary to reports, I will not be serving as the Surgeon General.<\/p>\n

Ben Carson broke his silence around rumors of him joining the second Trump administration as the U.S. surgeon general on Sunday, but noted that he plans to speak with President-elect Donald Trump soon.<\/p>\n

Carson, who served as the secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) from 2017 to 2021 during the first Trump administration, dispelled the false reports in an X post on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am excited to speak with President Trump about how I will continue to advance the America First agenda, and I am meeting with him in the near future,\u201d the retired neurosurgeon wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, contrary to reports, I will not be serving as the Surgeon General.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Despite ruling out that he will not serve as Surgeon General, Dr. Carson may again find himself back in the Trump administration as HUD Secretary.<\/p>\n

Newsweek<\/a> reported that Polymarket currently has Carson leading all other possible HUD Secretary picks with 26%.<\/p>\n

Throughout Trump\u2019s 2024 presidential run, Dr. Carson campaigned on Trump\u2019s behalf in several key swing states, including his home state of Michigan.<\/p>\n

If not nominated as HUD Secretary, Carson, the founder of Little Patriots Learning and who has spent the last several years advocating for American students to receive a more patriotic education, may have an outside chance of heading the Department of Education.<\/p>\n
