Former Fox News star Tucker Carlson doesn’t seem keen on running for public office, however, he did not completely rule out the possibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carlson was asked during an event this week if he would consider being Donald Trump’s running mate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGod would have to yell at me very loud,\u201d Carlson said at the American Principles Project Foundation\u2019s annual Christmas gala, where he gave a speech, according to Semafor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One attendee at the dinner asked Carlson about a recent Axios\u00a0report<\/a>\u00a0suggesting former first lady\u00a0Melania Trump\u00a0was advocating for her husband, the frontrunner for the GOP nomination, to consider selecting Carlson as a running mate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the report<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

She thinks Carlson would make a powerful onstage extension of her husband, a source close to Trump told us. The former first lady has made few campaign appearances this time around \u2014 but a Trump-Carlson ticket might encourage her to hit the trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump, asked last month about Carlson as a potential V.P., said: \u201cI like Tucker a lot. \u2026 He\u2019s got great common sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Carlson responded that he doesn’t have a close relationship with the former First Lady and hasn’t planned on running for public office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know her, really,\u201d Carlson said. \u201cTo go from being, like, a well-paid street corner schizophrenic to, like, a politician \u2014 it\u2019s just kind of hard to envision.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
