Former President Donald Trump said he would consider taking on former Fox News host Tucker Carlson as his running mate if he were to secure the 2024 Republican nomination for president.
Clay Travis, co-host of the conservative radio show The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, asked Trump if he had ever considered having Carlson as a potential vice president.
Trump answered, "I like Tucker a lot, I guess I would."
"I think I'd say I would because he’s got great common sense,” he continued. “You know, when they say that you guys are conservative, or I’m conservative, it’s not that we’re conservative, we have common sense."
"We want to have safe borders. We want to have a wall because walls work,” Trump added before going off on a lengthy tangent on how wheels and walls are “the only two things in centuries to have not become obsolete."
Carlson has fawned over Trump and his former administration on Fox News for years. However, he once claimed he "passionately" hated the former president in private messages he sent to other Fox News employees.
The axed conservative anchor now reports exclusively on X, formerly known as Twitter, where he has posted a series of shorter news segments about subject matters he claims "doesn't get the air time they deserve."
Well, that wasn’t the most resounding announcement from Trump, but if this catches on with his base, and they make enough noise, they may actually help make this scenario a reality.
