Ben Carson didn’t, and then did, want a job in the Trump administration. He turned down Health, Education and Welfare, which made more sense, since he’s a doctor. Housing and Urban Development seems a stretch.

A spokesperson for Ben Carson confirmed to the Wall Street Journal that Carson was offered the HUD secretary post, and has accepted it.

Carson eluded to the decision earlier Wednesday when he posted on Facebook, “After serious discussions with the Trump transition team, I feel that I can make a significant contribution particularly to making our inner cities great for everyone.” He went on to say, “An announcement is forthcoming about my role in helping make America great again.”
President-Elect Trump formally offered the job to the retired neurosurgeon on Tuesday.
