President-elect Trump has announced his intention to nominate Dr. Ben Carson for the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). A former Republican presidential candidate, Carson is a retired neurosurgeon who was the director of the Johns Hopkins University’s department of pediatric neurosurgery. He received world-wide renown for separating twins who were conjoined at the head.
Carson has previously stated he was not interested in a cabinet post due to his lack of experience.
