Trump Campaign Distances Itself from Second-Term Speculation

Tucker Carlson Considered for VP Role, Loyalists Eyed for Key Cabinet Positions

Donald Trump's presidential campaign is distancing him from speculation about his plans for a potential second term, including who might fill his administration and what policies he might pursue. The campaign has issued memos dismissing news reports about preparations for a hard-right government stocked with loyalists.
Trump's campaign advisers have said that public discussions about potential administration jobs are hurting Trump and themselves, calling them an 'unwelcomed distraction'.
Despite rumors, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has not ruled out joining Trump as a running mate, stating 'God would have to yell at me very loud'. Melania Trump is reportedly advocating for Carlson to be considered for the role.
Reports suggest that Trump is considering loyalists and hard-liners for key roles in his potential future cabinet, including Stephen Miller, Steve Bannon, and Kash Patel.
Trump's potential picks for his running mate include Rep. Byron Donalds, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, current senatorial candidate Kari Lake, Gov. Kristi Noem, Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and Sen. J.D. Vance.
