The Trump campaign named Ben Carson, a retired neurosurgeon and a former U.S. secretary of housing and urban development under the Trump administration, as its national faith chairman.
“Kamala Harris and the radical left have waged war on America’s faith community since the day they took office. Her selection of Gov. Tim Walz as her vice-presidential nominee solidifies their commitment to intensifying those efforts,” former President Donald Trump stated.
“Ben Carson, a man of unwavering faith, is the perfect person to work with leaders of the faith community on behalf of the campaign to promote the protection of religious freedom and prosperity in our country,” Trump added. “Nobody was a bigger champion for the faith community than me, and I look forward to working with Ben Carson to fight back against Kamala Harris’s war on faith and making America great again in November.”
Carson stated that Trump “believes America’s best days are ahead, and in order to re-establish ourselves as ‘that shining city upon a hill,’ we must acknowledge we are one nation under God.”
“There is only one candidate in this race that has defended religious liberty and supported Americans of faith. That candidate is Donald J. Trump,” he added.
