This news aligns with a recent report from The Daily Fetched, where Trump himself stated that he would seriously consider adding Carlson to his 2024 presidential ticket as VP. During an interview on “The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show,” Trump expressed his admiration for Carlson and said he liked him a lot. Trump also highlighted that he and Carlson had previously done an interview together that broke records on social media. While Trump seems open to the idea of Carlson as his VP, he did not make any firm commitments during the interview.
These developments are exciting and intriguing. Tucker Carlson has a large following and is known for his outspoken conservative views. If Trump were to choose him as his VP, it could attract even more support from conservatives across the country. However, it remains to be seen how Trump and Carlson would work together, considering Carlson’s popularity and potential clash with Trump’s leadership style. Nonetheless, this news reflects the ongoing speculation surrounding Trump’s potential return to the political arena in 2024, and it will be interesting to see how things unfold in the coming months.
