Trump Considers Larry Kudlow for Senior Economic Policy Role

President-Elect Donald Trump is reportedly considering Fox Business host Larry Kudlow for a senior economic policy role in his upcoming administration. This development was highlighted by The Wall Street Journal and confirmed by other sources[3].

Larry Kudlow, a well-known figure in financial news, has been a host on Fox Business Network since its inception. His potential appointment aligns with Trump’s promise to shake up the Washington D.C. establishment, a theme that was central to his victory speech on November 5th[1].

Kudlow’s experience in economic policy is extensive, having previously served as the Director of the National Economic Council under President Trump from 2018 to 2021. His consideration for this new role suggests that Trump is looking to maintain continuity in economic policy and leverage Kudlow’s expertise in shaping the country’s economic agenda[3].

This move is part of Trump’s broader effort to assemble a transition team that reflects his campaign promises, including nominations such as Pete Buttigieg for Defense and Matt Gaetz for Justice, which have been met with controversy but are seen as aligning with Trump’s vision for reforming key government departments[1][4]).
