Rumors have swirled this week that Fox Business host Larry Kudlow was in line for a government position after Donald Trump is inaugurated. The network has denied those rumors.
The Wall Street Journal has reported that Kudlow met with President-elect Trump earlier this week at his Mar-a-Lago home. The report called the host “a contender” to take the head of either the National Economic Center or even the Treasury Department as a whole.
However, Fox Business has squashed any of those situations that are coming to fruition by denying that he’ll be exiting the cable network.
“Larry Kudlow recently signed a new deal to continue hosting his eponymous program on FOX Business and has no plans to leave his current role helming one of the highest-rated shows on the network,” a Fox News Media spokesperson said.
The move wouldn’t have been Kudlow’s first foray into the political world. He served as National Economic Director for just under three years during the first Trump administration. He also worked as the associate director for economics and planning in the Office of Management and Budget in the Reagan administration.
The 77-year-old Kudlow has hosted a program on Fox Business since 2021. In addition his cable program, Kudlow also hosts a nationally syndicated radio show through Red Apple Audio Networks. It is heard on stations like 77 WABC in New York and WLS-AM 890 in Chicago, among others.
