Melania Trump reportedly wants her embattled ex-president husband, Donald Trump, to name Tucker Carlson as his 2024 vice president running mate, Breaking Celebrity News has learned.
In a surprising development to come as the race for the 2024 White House continues to heat up, sources familiar with the matter revealed that the former first lady has pushed ex-President Trump to name Carlson as his running mate for next year.
Melania Trump has made several public appearances in recent months.
Axios also suggested that a Trump-Carlson ticket āmight encourageā Melania to hit the campaign trail ā something she has largely failed to do ever since Trump announced his 2024 run late last year.
Former President Trump previously hinted at a possible Trump-Carlson ticket, and he admitted that he ālikesā the fired Fox News star āa lot.ā
Melania believes Carlson āwould make a powerful onstage extensionā of her ex-president husband.
"I like Tucker a lot. I guess I would consider him,ā the ex-president said last month regarding the possibility. āHeās got great common sense."
āYou know, when they say that you guys are conservative, or Iām conservative ā itās not that weāre conservative, we have common sense,ā Trump continued at the time. āWe want to have safe borders. We want to have a wall, because walls work.ā
Other sources close to Trumpās 2024 campaign have dismissed the idea because Trump would ānever pick someone who could outshine him.ā One insider also warned that Carlson ācan't be controlled.ā
Axios also reported that ex-President Trump is currently considering a slew of other possible 2024 running mates ā including J.D. Vance, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Kari Lake, and Kristi Noem.
Sources claim Donald renegotiated their prenup after Melania wanted to divorce over his legal scandals.
GOP House Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida and GOP House Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia were also allegedly being floated as possible vice president picks.
As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, Melaniaās push for a Trump-Carlson ticket comes months after Carlson was abruptly fired from Fox News.
