Former US President Donald Trump, who wants to run for re-election, has not ruled out that presenter Tucker Carlson could be his vice president.
The former president thinks that well-known TV host Tucker Carlson would be a good candidate for the vice presidency in the 2024 elections. Trump was a guest on ‘The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show’ on Wednesday. – Would you put Tucker Carlson on your list of vice presidents? – Clay asked Travis bluntly.
Let’s not forget that in April of this year, Carlson left Fox News, where he was the biggest star. Carlson’s primetime show, “Tucker Carlson Tonight”, was the top-rated cable news program in the key age group (25-54), regularly drawing more than 3 million viewers each night.
Trump: We both use common sense
“Oh, wow,” the businessman replied. Before responding, Donald Trump recalled how he and Carlson had a conversation in August on Platform collided. – First of all, I did it for the first time, you could call it a counter program, but I won’t call it that, Trump said. – And I think, you know… we’ve broken every record in history. I think it reached over 300 million people. That evening there were more than 207 million, and within a day or two it was 275 million, the politician boasted.
– I really like Tucker! I think so! – he said, referring to the issue of political cooperation. – I think I would say yes, because he has a great sense of common sense. When they say you’re conservative or I’m conservative, it doesn’t mean we’re conservative, it means we have common sense. We both want secure borders, we want a wall, because walls work, Trump said, pointing to the views he shares with the host about the wall on the border with Mexico.
– The computer you have in front of you will be completely outdated in about a month, right? You have the best equipment in the world, but the only two things that haven’t been outdated for centuries are wheels and walls. A circle will always be a circle, and a wall will always be a wall, the US presidential candidate added.
US presidential election
The presidential elections in the United States will take place next fall. They will be preceded by primaries in the Republican Party. Donald Trump is the clear favorite to win the nomination. In the polls, the former president maintains a huge lead over the rest of the contenders.
Last week, Mike Pence, a former vice president in Trump’s cabinet, suspended his election campaign due to poor election results and financial problems.
At this point, the Democrats will be represented by Joe Biden. It is a tradition in the US that there is no competition from his party against the president running for re-election, so there are no primaries.
Democrat Robert F. Kennedy Jr., nephew of former President John F. Kennedy, will run for president as an independent candidate.
