Somehow, someway, the 2024 GOP presidential possibilities keep going from bad to worse. Earlier this week, we saw Donald Trump win the Iowa Caucuses by a historic margin. The remaining Republican candidates, Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis, could receive the nomination if Trump becomes ineligible for the presidency.
Colorado and Maine have attempted to respectively remove Trump from their ballots (Washington State tried as well but a judge denied their efforts). However, the threat of another term just became even more stomach-churning: Donald Trump Jr. has stated that Tucker Carlson could be his fatherβs pick for Vice President.

During an interview with Newsmaxβs Rob Finnerty, Junior stated that Carlson becoming Trumpβs VP βclearly would be on the tableβ if he wins the nomination. βI mean theyβre very friendly, I think they agree on virtually all of these things,β Trump Jr. said on βWake Up America.β
βThey certainly agree on stopping the never-ending wars. And so, I would love to see that happen. That would certainly be a contender,β he continued. Trump has publicly said he knows who his pick will be. However, in November the former president expressed the same scary ass sentiment when it comes to considering Carlson for the job.
βI like Tucker a lot; I guess I would,β Trump previously stated. βI think Iβd say I would, because heβs got great common sense.β Carlson rose to fame by pushing hateful white supremacist rhetoric on his primetime show on Fox News for six years. He was let go from the network in April.
The abrupt decision came after Fox agreed to pay $787 million to settle a defamation lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting System for spreading lies that the 2020 presidential election was stolen. The possibility of Trump once again seizing the White House is a dangerous reality, but Trump and Carlson together? Thatβs just pure evil.
