Ben & Candy Carson engagement report
@RealBenCarson - 2.2M followers on X
Measured over 10 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 1, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 2.1K interactions against 2.2M followers, an engagement rate of 0.092%. Measured over 10 original posts, its engagement rate beats 83% of 3,809 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 46K times each, and 4.52% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.04% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.8 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 27% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 10 posts sampled, 70% carry an image or video and 40% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 76K interactions, about 37x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Ben & Candy Carson's engagement rate beats 83% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,809 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 94% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 14:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked.

LA’s solution to homelessness is handing out brown bags filled with drug paraphernalia. This is not care. This is why people are leaving “housing first” facilities in body bags. https://t.co/XIrkVyCClX

Fatherhood is about more than providing, it is about being present. It is about teaching character, demonstrating faith, loving your family well, and setting an example worth following. I’ve often said there is no job more important than parenting. This Father’s Day, I challenge every father to step up, lean in, and embrace that calling with renewed purpose. Your children do not need a perfect father. They need a present one. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads who are showing up every day, making a difference for the next generation.

No city can safely absorb the equivalent of most of its population overnight. Nor can a country preserve its culture and civic institutions if it abandons any expectation that newcomers enter legally, assimilate, and respect its values. America should watch closely. Sovereignty is not cruelty. Order is not hatred. Secure borders protect lives, preserve nations, and make lawful immigration possible. What we are witnessing in Spain is absolute insanity and a warning we cannot afford to ignore. Common sense is a wonderful gift that was given to us by our creator. Let’s make sure we use it.

A surrogate mother defied the biological parents' order to abort a baby diagnosed with a severe heart defect. The woman, McKenna West, has now given birth to the baby, Gabriel. @Kerri_Kupec says baby Gabriel is in a Texas NICU, where doctors could soon perform potentially life-saving surgery. According to Urbahn, the hospital has a 100% success rate performing the procedure on babies born with this heart defect. West fled to Texas, where AG Ken Paxton intervened — securing an emergency court order to ensure baby Gabriel receives the care he needs. Now that baby Gabriel is born, the legal fight could shift to custody, parental rights and who decides on his treatment.
