With numbers soaring far above any other Republican candidates for the 2024 presidential nomination, former President Donald Trump has dropped many hints in the past as to his choice of running mate.
With an all-time low in support for the current team, Biden-Harris, Trump’s choice could make the election a shutout. An array of governors, congresspersons, and other candidates have been spoken of, as well as those not currently in politics but who are covering politics.
Many names have been bantered about, but recently, during a conversation on “The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show,” Trump answered a question affirmatively as to one of his choices.
Trump responded to the suggestion with characteristic bravado, stating, “I like Tucker a lot. I guess I would consider him. He’s got great common sense.”
WATCH:
Trump’s praise of Carlson’s “common sense” is exactly why conservatives have embraced Carlson since his days on Fox News, and evidence of his ratings since leaving that network shows he has a massive following—enough of a following to make going out on his own successful. That kind of entrepreneurship is something Donald Trump would appreciate and admire.
Carlson has made waves continuously in his broadcast career, consistently interviewing many who would not give interviews to others. He has repeatedly stated that he changed his mind when faced with new facts and is not only open to new information but is unabashedly unafraid to state his mind and ask the tough questions of the day.
Carlson has also made his way internationally, interviewing political figures in other countries as well, going viral with his interview of Turkish Prime Minister Vicktor Orban, who urged the United States to return Trump to the White House, saying, “Call back Trump. Trump is the man who can save the western world.”
Trump continued with the statement, “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.”
While discussing the idea, Trump reflected on his decision to do an interview with Carlson during the first Republican debate—a move that resulted in record-breaking viewership figures.
In answering the question, Trump cited the ratings as evidence of the powerful draw of conservative media voices like Carlson’s. Trump chose not to participate in the Republican presidential debate, instead going on Carlson’s show at the smae time as the debate.
That night on Carlson’s show, “Debate Night with Donald J Trump” garnered a staggering 212.3 million impressions. To put this into perspective, when Fox News broke the debate ratings record back in 2015, largely attributed to Trump’s participation, the event peaked at 24 million viewers on a network show.
That interview was the first to give insight as to the persecution Trump has faced from his opposition. During the interview, Trump was asked whether he believed his political enemies would try to have him killed as his poll numbers continue to rise despite four indictments.
“Impeachment didn’t work twice, obviously. The indictments are not working, your poll numbers go up. When they raided Mar-A-Lago in August of last year, your numbers went up,” Carlson asked back in August.
Trump replied. “I mean the four indictments, and maybe there’s more; I don’t know. These people are crazy,” he continued. “They’re savage animals,” Trump said of the radical left and the Biden administration. “They are people that are sick, really sick.”
Nothing has happened to flip the situation as Trump fights the four indictments, which have so far gained his opposition nothing, as his numbers continue to climb in the polls.
Trump is the far and away favorite among Republicans, and now has surged ahead of Biden as well. According to the latest surveys, the former president is leading in five swing states and is on pace to secure upwards of 300 electoral votes, which would allow him to return to the White House.
The swing state poll, which was conducted by the New York Times and Siena College, found Trump leading in multiple states that were carried by Joe Biden in 2020. Trump currently leads his rival in Michigan, Nevada, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Arizona, all of which were won by Biden in the previous presidential election.
Of the six swing states surveyed, Biden only leads Trump in Wisconsin. Perhaps most notably, the former president was found to be leading Nevada by 10 percentage points, a state that has not gone for a Republican presidential candidate since George W. Bush in 2004.
And Trump’s massive lead makes this week’s off-year election inconsistencies even more suspicious.
A strange gas leak in a Kentucky polling place, ballot fraud claims on social media in Ohio, and in Pennsylvania, at least 19 calls to the Philadelphia District Attorney’s office claimed issues at the polls, including calling for an investigation over a document alleged to be a fraudulent sample ballot, among other issues.
