The head of Housing and Urban Development says he'd continue to serve if asked, despite telling an interviewer that he'd prefer to leave after the current term.
Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson speaks during his visit to the Vaux Big Picture High School in Philadelphia, Tuesday, Sept. 19, 2017.
This comes after Carson told a conservative news outlet that he’d prefer to leave public office at the end of Trump’s term and return to the private sector, where “you have just as much influence, maybe more, there.” Newsmax TV aired the interview Monday, and it was widely reported by national news outlets.Following a statute covering all secretaries, Carson said, he will resign at the end of the four-year term.
A retired neurosurgeon who gained a national profile for his pioneering surgery separating conjoined twins, Carson ran unsuccessfully for the White House in 2016. Trump appointed Carson to lead HUD despite his lack of government experience or prior work in housing or as an executive.
