Dr. Ben Carson, former US Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, made a significant announcement during a rally in Sioux City, Iowa on Sunday.
Addressing a crowd of enthusiastic supporters, Carson expressed his unwavering support for former President Donald J. Trump, the frontrunner for the 2024 GOP nomination.
In a resounding declaration, Carson stated, "As I stand here today, I want to offer my most confident and full endorsement of Donald J. Trump." The crowd erupted in applause, affirming their agreement with Carson's sentiment. Drawing inspiration from Benjamin Franklin, Carson invoked the words of the founding father, who once remarked that the United States is a Republic "if you can keep it." Carson emphasized that the best way to preserve the Republic is by reinstating Donald J. Trump as the nation's leader. "The way we can keep it is we can put Donald J. Trump back in office," he asserted.
Carson commended Trump for his unwavering courage in challenging the political establishment, despite the personal and financial risks involved. According to The Hill, Carson highlighted Trump's resilience in the face of relentless attacks and demonization. "Donald Trump lost millions, if not billions of dollars. And hes been attacked constantly and demonized, and yet, hes still there. They havent gotten rid of him. Theyre trying to do everything in their power to get rid of [him]. Because hes the biggest threat to the administrative state and to the swamp," Carson remarked.
Carson's endorsement of Trump was not limited to his rally speech. He also took to X to express his admiration and support for the former president. In a post, Carson emphasized the urgent need for strong leadership in the country, someone who will fight for the American people, their freedoms, safety, and future. He unequivocally declared, "Donald J. Trump is that leader, and I am proud to give him my full endorsement for President of the United States today. Join me in this fight to Make America Great Again!"
With Carson's endorsement, Trump's campaign for the 2024 GOP nomination gains significant momentum, solidifying his position as a formidable contender. As the race unfolds, the support of influential figures like Carson will undoubtedly play a crucial role in shaping the political landscape and determining the future of the Republican Party.
