Donald Trump is nominating Dr. Ben Carson to be his administration's housing secretary.
 
Trump announced Carson's nomination in a statement, which says in part: "We have talked at length about my urban renewal agenda and our message of economic revival, very much including our inner cities. Ben shares my optimism about the future of our country and is part of ensuring that this is a Presidency representing all Americans. He is a tough competitor and never gives up."

When Carson's name had been floated as a Trump cabinet secretary earlier, Carson spokesman Armstrong Williams said that Carson had turned down a role in the administration.
