Ben Carson’s remarks about whether he would accept the results of the 2024 presidential election regardless of which party wins falls in line with a recent Republican trend that’s causing a stir among social media users.

On CNN’s Laura Coates Live on Thursday night, Coates asked Carson, the former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development: “Will you accept the results of the 2024 election, regardless of who wins, yes or no?”

Carson replied: “I will accept the results if it’s done in a fair and transparent way.”
