Tucker Reveals His Pick For Trump’s Vice President Nominee

On Tuesday conservative commentator, Tucker Carlson, expressed his support for Vivek Ramaswamy as a potential Vice Presidential candidate alongside former President Donald Trump. Carlson highlighted Vivek’s evolution on the campaign trail, noting a significant shift towards authenticity in his positions.

“I kind of like Vivek,” Carlson stated, acknowledging the criticism Vivek often faces. “I think he’s one of those people who everyone beats up on… for being he’s a phony and all this stuff.”

“I feel like Vivek’s positions have gotten much more sincere since the beginning of this.”

“I watch him with Nikki Haley and I’m like, ‘this is a guy who’s very offended by her views.’ He’s not attacking her because she’s a woman, he’s attacking her because he actually thinks her views are terrible for the country he lives in. And I love that,” Carlson finished.

Ramaswamy, an entrepreneur known for his “anti-woke” stance, has stood outside the traditional political spectrum of roles. Nevertheless, he has often emerged in discussions as a possible Vice Presidential choice for Trump. Their past interactions, including dinners and meetings, coupled with Trump’s positive remarks about Ramaswamy’s unwavering support, have fueled speculation about his potential involvement in a Trump-led administration, possibly as a running mate.

The endorsement from a figure like Carlson holds weight in Republican circles. Carlson’s comments come at a crucial time as the Republican party prepares for the upcoming election cycle. With speculation about Trump’s potential running mate intensifying, Vivek’s political stance may position himself as a strong candidate in the race for the Vice Presidency.

In contrast, Carlson has declared his opposition to Trump’s re-election campaign if Haley was to be selected as his Vice Presidential candidate. Carlson has criticized Haley for being, in his view, contrary to the country’s interests, labeling her addition to the ticket as detrimental.

Despite initial hesitance about government roles, Ramaswamy seems to be warming up to the idea of joining Trump’s ticket, especially if he doesn’t secure the party’s nomination for the 2024 Presidential race. Concurrently, Haley, another hopeful, has faced Ramaswamy’s criticism head on. He has branded her a “RINO” and challenged her foreign policy stance on multiple occasions.

After the Republican presidential debate in November, Ramaswamy especially intensified his attacks on Haley, particularly focusing on her post-United Nations career. “Her real foreign policy experience wasn’t her time at the UN,” Vivek said. “It was the millions she made afterwards. After she steps down, her family starts a military contracting firm: Allied Defense LLC. If the mainstream press were doing their [job], Allied Defense should have to disclose who their clients are.”

Ramaswamy also criticized Haley for allegedly collecting secretive speaking fees and corporate stock options while pursuing a presidential bid saying, “It’s Hillary Clinton on steroids.” “These are not the people, whether it’s Biden or Haley, these are not the people we should want deciding whether to send your kids to die fighting somebody else’s war,” he finished.

Ramaswamy has frequently expressed his disapproval of Haley on multiple issues. “Look, the bombs explode, her bank account grows. That’s Nikki Haley’s business model. As far as I know, the woman’s never made an honest dollar in her life.”
