Multiple outlets reported on Trump’s pick Wednesday, and according to NPR, Kudlow has “accepted the post.”
Kudlow will replace Gary Cohn, who resigned shortly after Trump announced tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.
In a piece on Trump’s selection, the New York Times wrote, “Trump loves big personalities, live television, the stock market and loyalty. In choosing Larry Kudlow, a CNBC television commentator, to serve as the next director of the National Economic Council, he has checked all those boxes.”
