The presumptive GOP presidential nominee\u00a0posted a quote from Dr. Ben Carson, the renowned neurosurgeon and former secretary of housing and urban development, on his Truth Social\u00a0platform. \u201cDr. Ben Carson: \u2018Sir, the left-wing media is going to come at you with everything they have because the other side is so frightened that their nest will be disturbed. Please keep telling the people what the left is going to do so that it will be expected. We are 1000% behind you,&#8217;\u201d the post said.  Half an hour later, Carson doubled down on his statement and urged Trump to keep fighting. \u201cI mean every word of it @realdonaldtrump,\u201d he wrote on X.\u00a0\u201cThe media continues to spread lie after lie about your campaign and time in office, while covering up everything under the sun for this disastrous Biden White House.   \u201cThey have proven that they are the enemy of the people. Keep up the fight!!!\u201d  I mean every word of it @realdonaldtrump.

Donald Trump is a fighter. He fights for We the People, not government bureaucrats. He fights for freedom\/liberty, not power\/tyranny. He fights for us. Our children, grandchildren, and their future. I\u2019m praying for my friend tonight. We are all behind you in this fight! pic.twitter.com\/E6nYDozw8F \u2014 Ben &#038; Candy Carson (@RealBenCarson) June 27, 2024   On June 24, Trump told reporters he had already selected his running mate \u201cin his mind\u201d after winnowing down his shortlist to a handful of top candidates. When asked for specifics, the billionaire replied, \u201cNo, nobody knows.\u201d  In addition to Carson, these are the top contenders heading into the Republican National Convention, which kicks off July 15 in Milwaukee, according to The Associated Press: \u2022 Gov. Doug Burgum of North Dakota.\u2022 Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York.\u2022 Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida.\u2022 Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina.\u2022 Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida.\u2022 Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio.  Carson is extremely popular among conservatives for his dignified demeanor, congenial personality and incredible career accomplishments. However, those are precisely the reasons he\u2019s not the right person to be Trump\u2019s running mate.  In today\u2019s vicious bloodsport of politics, the GOP needs a street fighter with sharp elbows, not an elegant gentleman.  Would you like to see Ben Carson as Trump&#8217;s running mate?     That said, most Trump supporters don\u2019t really care who his running mate is. Those who support him at this point have made up their minds. The bigger concern is whether the forthcoming election will be free and fair.   An Important Message from Our Staff:  In just a few months, the world is going to change forever.
