In a recent interview on the Dispatch podcast, New York Times political correspondent Maggie Haberman revealed a juicy piece of information: there are rumors that former President Donald Trump may choose Tucker Carlson as his running mate for the 2024 election. Haberman, known for her insider knowledge, shared that Trump is actively preparing to assemble a team of loyalists in the event that he wins the upcoming presidential election.

When asked about the credibility of these rumors, Haberman responded, “It’s a real thing that I am hearing as a possibility. The likelihood of it, I don’t know.” She went on to acknowledge the surprisingly professional vetting process that Trump’s political team is implementing this time around, despite his history of unorthodox decision-making. According to Haberman, this team is the best he’s had yet, especially when compared to his previous non-incumbent campaigns.
However, Haberman did express some concern about the potential pairing of Trump and Carlson. She noted that Carlson is a formidable star in his own right, and it remains to be seen how the two would handle the dynamic of their partnership. With Carlson’s immensely popular show on Fox News and a large following, Trump may face the challenge of sharing the spotlight with his running mate.
As expected, the Trump campaign has not yet commented on these rumors. The possibility of a Trump-Carlson ticket adds an interesting twist to the ever-evolving landscape of American politics. Only time will tell if these rumors become a reality or simply fade away as another tantalizing tidbit of political speculation.
