Trump Beelines For Tucker Carlson At RNC — Even Before Greeting His VP Pick JD Vance
HuffPost
The right-wing media personality reportedly pushed Trump to select the Ohio senator as his running mate.
Former President Donald Trump greeted right-wing media personality Tucker Carlson before he even shook hands with his vice-presidential pick, Sen. JD Vance (Ohio), at the Republican National Convention on Monday.
Trump, wearing a white bandage over his right ear that was injured in the assassination attempt he suffered over the weekend at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, entered the Milwaukee venue waving at his supporters and holding up his fist.
As the former president walked toward his seat looking emotional with supporters cheering him on, Carlson was the first person he shook hands with. Carlson was seated next to GOP Florida Rep. Byron Donalds, an ally of the former president in Congress. Trump eventually took his seat next to Vance.
Carlson along with Elon Musk and tech investor David Sacks were among those pushing for Trump to select Vance as his running mate, according to Axios.
Trump made the announcement on his Truth Social platform earlier Monday, calling Vance the “best suited person” to assume the role.
