Donald Trump Jr. stated on Thursday during an appearance on Newsmax TV’s “Wake Up America” that former Fox News host Tucker Carlson is “certainly” considered as a contender for his father’s potential vice-presidential running mate.
When asked by anchor Rob Finnerty about the possibility of Trump running with someone like Ron DeSantis, Trump Jr. responded, “You know, I would do whatever I could to make sure it wasn’t Nikki Haley. But you know, but like a Ron DeSantis, could I see? You’re never gonna rule out someone that is a leading contender. It doesn’t mean that’s who you go with. I could see other people that would be great. I’d love to see, you know, a J.D. Vance. I’d love to see a Tucker Carlson.”
Finnerty inquired, “Don, is your dad serious about Tucker Carlson? Are those rumors serious?” Trump Jr. replied, “That clearly would be on the table, right? I mean, they’re very friendly; I think they agree on virtually all of these things. They certainly agree on stopping the never-ending wars. And so, I would love to see that happen. That would certainly be a contender.”
