Nov 15, 2024, 07:15 PM

Larry Kudlow, a prominent economic adviser, has informed President-elect Donald Trump that he does not wish to return to a government role. Kudlow was previously considered for at least two senior economic policy positions within the Trump administration. This decision comes after speculation about his potential return, which many advisers believed was a possibility, although it was considered a longshot. Kudlow's recent statement indicates a clear preference to remain in his current position, where he hosts a highly-rated program on Fox Business. According to a Fox News spokesperson, Kudlow has signed a new deal to continue his role on the network and has no plans to leave. This announcement shifts Trump's focus to other candidates for his economic team.
