Cramer: Larry Kudlow is leading contender to replace Gary Cohn as Trump's top economic advisor

Larry Kudlow is the leading contender to replace Gary Cohn as National Economic Council director, CNBC's Jim Cramer reported.

Kudlow, a CNBC senior contributor, is a free-trade advocate who generally opposes tariffs.

Gary Cohn left after Trump decided to put tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.

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, who declined to be named, confirmed to CNBC that 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."

Not worth the risk of a complete meltdown of the economy caused by something crazy Trump might do.
