If Donald Trump wins the GOP nomination, he is going to need a new running mate.
One name is on the tips of conservative tongues.
And Tucker Carlson stunned everyone with this vice president decision.
At Turning Point USA AmericaFest, Tucker Carlson divulged who he thought Trump should tap as his vice-presidential nominee, 38-year-old biotech entrepreneur and GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.
The establishment and the liberal media hate Ramaswamy and claim he is a phony try-hard.
But Carlson explained to podcast host Tim Pool that Vivek is his favorite candidate of the ones who appeared on the debate stage.
“I kind of like Vivek,” Carlson told Pool. “Everyone beats up on Vivek for being ‘he’s a phony’ and all this stuff.”
Carlson added that it wasn’t unnatural for a candidate to evolve over the course of a campaign as Carlson said he’s watched that metamorphosis occur many times having covered presidential elections dating back to 1992.
“I’ve covered a lot of campaigns going back to 1992 and I’ve noticed this in many candidates and I noticed it in him – the process of running for president and speaking three times a day and having people throw hostile questions in your faces causes you to change – they all change during these campaigns for real, inside.” Carlson continued.
“And I feel like Vivek’s positions have gotten much more sincere since the beginning of this,” Carlson stated.
There may be no candidate in this race Carlson despises more than RINO former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley.
Haley is a figure out of the past who thinks it’s still the GOP of Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney where the donor class sets the agenda of open borders, amnesty, and caving to the left on cultural issues while supporting endless wars like the one in Ukraine.
Carlson said nothing thrilled him more than watching Ramaswamy shred Haley’s woke, establishment Republican posture in the debates.
“I watch him with Nikki Haley and I’m like this is a guy who’s very offended by her views for real, 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 concluded.
Ramaswamy went viral in the last debate for two encounters where he thrashed Haley.
Haley said that Hillary Clinton inspired her to get into politics.
In the first, Ramaswamy mocked Haley for running a presidential campaign in the mold of her idol Hillary Clinton that was based solely on her identity as a woman.

Ramaswamy then shredded Haley as a carbon copy of Liz Cheney as someone the media claims is a foreign policy expert just because they support every U.S. military intervention.
The blank look on Haley’s face said it all when Ramaswamy challenged Haley to name three provinces in Ukraine.
When Haley couldn’t, Ramaswamy mocked her for wanting to send tens of billions of dollars in taxpayer money to fund a war in a country she knew nothing about simply because the establishment and her donors said so.
