Who could be Donald Trump’s next running mate?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump’s eldest son Don Jr. says that former Fox News host Tucker Carlson is being discussed as a potential pick for vice president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During an appearance on conservative cable channel Newsmax Trump Jr. was asked about whether his father would consider Carlson, Trump Jr. said the option was \u201con the table.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI mean they\u2019re 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,\u201d the former president\u2019s son said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Carlson hosted a prime-time opinion show on Fox News for six years before he was\u00a0pulled off the air\u00a0just days after the network paid Dominion Voting Systems nearly $800 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, reports indicated Melania Trump had pushed for her husband to consider Carlson as a running mate but the popular host has thrown cold water on suggestions that he would run for public office, saying late last year it would be \u201ckind of hard to envision.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump himself has acknowledged he would consider\u00a0Carlson as a vice presidential pick\u00a0\u201cbecause he\u2019s got great common sense,\u201d and during a town hall this week he indicated he has already made a decision on whom he will choose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
