Former President Donald J. Trump has once again made waves in the political sphere by suggesting that Tucker Carlson could be considered as his running mate in the 2024 election. In an interview on “The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show,” Trump expressed his admiration for Carlson, stating, “I like Tucker a lot. I guess I would consider him. He’s got great common sense.” This bold statement has sparked speculation about who will have the honor of standing alongside the former president in the upcoming race.
For conservatives, Carlson’s “common sense” approach to current affairs has made him a respected figure. Trump’s praise of Carlson’s candid and sometimes controversial viewpoints aligns with the sentiments of many right-leaning individuals. This endorsement from the former president could have a significant impact on the vice presidential selection process.

Interestingly, this is not the first time Trump and Carlson have crossed paths. During the first Republican debate, Trump’s decision to do an interview with Carlson resulted in record-breaking viewership numbers. Carlson’s show, “Debate Night with Donald J Trump,” achieved a staggering 212.3 million impressions. This popularity highlights the influence of conservative media voices, and Carlson’s potential selection as vice president could further amplify their reach.
Switching gears, the latest polls indicate that Trump is currently the front-runner for the 2024 presidency. Despite facing four indictments, the former president’s popularity continues to rise. Trump is leading in five swing states, giving him a strong chance of securing over 300 electoral votes and reclaiming the White House. Notably, Trump is ahead in states that were won by President Biden in the last election, including Michigan, Nevada, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Arizona. The only swing state where Biden maintains a lead is Wisconsin.
As the next election cycle approaches, Trump’s statements should not be taken lightly. They serve as strategic messages to both his loyal supporters and potential rivals. While the possibility of Carlson becoming the vice presidential candidate remains uncertain, it is clear that Trump’s influence in politics is far from over.
In this ever-evolving political landscape, one thing is certain: Trump’s presence and impact are still being felt. The future of conservative politics is being shaped, and the playbook is being rewritten. With Trump and Carlson potentially teaming up in 2024, the stage is set for an exciting and contentious election season.
