Trump Considers Fox Business Host for Economic Team Amid Kudlow's Decision

President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly close to naming a Treasury secretary, with Scott Bessent emerging as a top candidate after Larry Kudlow withdrew from consideration. Kudlow, a Fox Business host and former director of the National Economic Council, opted to remain in his current role. The race for the Treasury position has intensified between Bessent and Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick, while other potential candidates like Robert Lighthizer and Marc Rowan are also being considered for top economic roles in Trump's administration.
