Former US President Donald Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr, has suggested that conservative pundit Tucker Carlson could be a potential vice presidential running mate for his father. In an interview with cable channel Newsmax, Trump Jr said that the option of Carlson being a running mate was "on the table". He highlighted their shared views on issues such as ending ongoing conflicts, expressing his enthusiasm for such a partnership.
Tucker Carlson, who previously hosted a prime-time show on Fox News, has recently launched his own media company and video show on the social media platform X. While there have been suggestions of Carlson considering a run for public office, he has dismissed the idea, stating that it would be difficult to envision.
