Famed broadcast journalist and news host Tucker Carlson has responded to rumors that he could, potentially, be a running mate alongside President Trump in 2024. Newsweek provided this statement from Carlson:
“I don’t think I have any like horrible skeletons or anything,” he added.
“It’s not that, it’s just that that’s not how my brain works. I’ve never done anything like that.
I can’t imagine spending time with politicians.”
So that’s a resounding no from the incredibly popular, some might say revolutionary, media personality, which is a huge shame, though understandable.
The news personality recently launched a new media venture and will presumably be focused on this new project and not politics.
I wish he would change his mind on this, I think America needs a man like Tucker in politics, but, of course, he is likely too moral of a man to enter the dirty game. Carlson recently explained his position to host Megyn Kelly:
On Tuesday night, our very own Patrick Bet-David participated in a Space on X with several co-hosts and got clarity from Tucker Carlson about the vice president rumors. https://t.co/miN7mWSk57

Just now during the X Space, Tucker Carlson admits that he doesn’t think he would make a good Vice President, says “you should stick to things that you like and that come naturally to you.” Says he doesn’t see himself “doing anything like that.” Fair. An honest man.

According to The Hill, President Trump had this to say about Carlson in a prior interview:
“I like Tucker a lot; I guess I would,” Trump said during an appearance on “The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show” this week.
“I think I’d say I would, because he’s got great common sense.”
“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.”
