Fox News host Laura Ingraham asked Home Depot co-founder Ken Langone on Tuesday night whether he would support former President Donald Trump as a presidential candidate.
Langone appeared on “The Ingraham Angle” to discuss the ongoing New York trial involving the former president, who has been indicted on 34 felonies for allegedly falsifying business records. After Langone called for him to recuse himself from the incident, Ingraham told the Home Depot co-founder on his show, noting that Trump had previously supported Republican candidate Nikki Haley. I asked him if he supported Trump.
“Let me tell you this: A few weeks ago, I said on TV that I was going to vote for my wife,” Langone said.
“Okay. That’s cute, but with ‘The Ingraham Angle,’ that doesn’t work,” the Fox host said.
“I know. I think the most important decision he’s going to make is who his running mate will be,” Langone continued. “Because his running mate is the most likely to be the next president as his term ends this term. He said he’s going to keep the powder dry and see what he does. I think-”
“So if President Trump chooses someone you don’t think is qualified, does that mean you would consider sitting out the election and not supporting him?” Ingraham asked.
“First of all, I live in New York state. My vote will not be counted,” Langone responded.
“No, but your money is important. They need your money,” Ingraham pushed back.
“You are beyond smart [and] Beyond being great, it’s an either-or choice,” Ingraham continued. “We don’t get to decide who he chooses to be his vice president. It’s definitely going to be someone who supports him and his policies in general, but it’s a binary choice. lose [or] Trump and his picks. What a difficult choice that is! ”
“I always act like I’m losing even though I’m winning. I think that’s the safest approach in life,” Langone replied. “Because you don’t take anything for granted. The polls look good. But if I’m Trump and I can give him a lot of credit, who’s to say I’m going to win the next election?” Can anyone add more confidence?
Langone went on to say that she prefers Nikki Haley as Trump’s running mate. Ingraham asked Haley if she thought this was possible after she refused to endorse the former president when she withdrew from the race in early March. Mr. Langone criticized Mr. Trump’s comments about Ms. Haley and used his tone to illustrate her problems.
President Trump has not yet announced his running mate, but some Republicans, including South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, and former Democratic Hawaii congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, have announced their running mate. There are reports that some members of Congress may be included in the list. The former president teased at a recent campaign rally in Milwaukee that his nomination timeline would likely be around the Republican National Convention (RNC) in July. according to He was interviewed by FOX 6 Milwaukee.
