Larry Kudlow is the leading contender to head President Donald Trump's National Economic Council and would take the job if offered it, CNBC's Jim Cramer reported Monday.
Trump has not formally offered the job, but Kudlow is a leading choice of not only Trump but also some of his advisors to replace Gary Cohn as the president's top economic advisor. A White House official confirmed Kudlow is on the list of candidates but said the administration did not have personnel announcements to make.
Kudlow declined to comment.
Kudlow, a CNBC senior contributor and longtime on-air personality, helped to craft economic policy during the Reagan administration. Cramer worked with Kudlow on the CNBC show "Kudlow and Cramer."

This sounds like a train wreck. No thanks.
Larry likes cheap labor importation.
I doubt it. Larry is trashing the tariffs.
That said, he's probably in the mix as Trump likes hearing all sides.......but he already got that side from Gary Cohen!
I'm always confusing one spelling for another - and insulting one of you for being incorrect!!!
P.P.S. Just kidding.
We’re in a trade war and Kudlow is not a war time consigliere. Instead he’ll try and get Trump to back down. Bad choice.
No.
He’s wrong on immigration but that’s not what he’ll be in charge of.
Is that Mr. Smith, Smyth, Smithe, Symth, etc etc etc... Come on, a name is a name is a name. No one has to spell their last name the same as those polling highest.
Larry’s not perfect—but he has got to be better than the other two supposedly under heavy consideration:
- the New Zealand-native Oxford-grad former CFO of Microsoft, or
- the longtime former lobbyist for Fidelity.
No thanks. Larry takes Cheap Labor and ‘Free’ Trade as articles of faith. He’s not in step with the Trump Administration’s war on the globalist cabal that’s been trying to destroy this country for decades.
Those pin-striped suits are like the crease on Obama’s pants. I always held hope that he would have run for one of the Senate seats in the Northeast. Just another tease. Don’t reward him.
Kudlow just killed his chances. One thing never to do with Trump, is campaign for the job.
See ya, Larry. Don’t let the door hit ya.
Kudlow has been around for a long time and could bring a lot of wisdom and value to this administration.
I wouldn't be shocked if this has been in the works for some time, either.
Why does Walter Williams never get mentioned in these discussions? Or Thomas Sowell. EIther one would be great.
RE: Kudlow just killed his chances. One thing never to do with Trump, is campaign for the job.
He is NOT campaigning for the job. He is in fact happy with where he is. I’m not sure if he even wants to go back to Washington.
Oh God another Free Traitor™ - no thanks. Go to China. S. Korea or Taiwan and get an economist. All of them are protectionists and know how to fight a trade war.
Wisdom = Free Traitor™ - no thanks. Anymore “wisdom” and we will all be serfs.
Kudlow was one of Trump’s top economic advisors during the 2016 campaign. Obviously, neither one of them considered their differences on immigration and trade to be a serious problem.
