Ben Carson was one of the first Republican names to endorse Donald Trump after he left the presidential race and now he has a new role, according to a confidant: emissary from Mr. Trump to the remaining holdouts from the Republican primary field.
The confidant, Armstrong Williams, said on Thursday that Carson had been placing calls and “reaching out to everyone,” and planned to make the case that despite Trump’s insults in the primary race, the party needs to come together.
Senator's Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, as well as former Governor of Florida Jeb Bush, are all on Carson's list.
