Donald Trump Jr. recently made an appearance on Newsmax Thursday and he speculated about former Fox News golden boy Tucker Carlson being picked as his dad’s vice presidential candidate via Mediaite.
“Don, is your dad serious about Tucker Carlson? Are those rumors serious?” asked Newsmax anchor Rob Finnerty.
“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,” Don Jr. said.
Other names floated included Ron DeSantis (R-FL), Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), and Ben Carson.
“You need someone who’s in alignment, as well as, like, aggressive. You actually need a fighter,” Junior said. “The Republicans in Washington, D.C., are weak. You can have the House, the Senate, and they’ll still roll over.”
One person Junior would not like to see on his father’s ticket?
“I would do whatever I could to make sure it wasn’t Nikki Haley!” he said. “That’s my opinion, I don’t make these decisions.”
“But your father listens to you, maybe more than anybody else,” Finnerty said.
“I’ve been pretty involved in the political game for quite some time and I think, you know, more importantly I live with the base. I hang out with the base, those are my people, those are my friends,” Don Jr. said.
