Trump offered the job to Kudlow, a CNBC personality who has been a regular outside adviser to the president, over the phone Tuesday night while Kudlow was at dinner at Cipriani restaurant in Manhattan, a person close to the matter said earlier Wednesday. Kudlow accepted.
During the call, Trump said he was seeing Kudlow’s photo on television and told him: “You’re looking handsome, Larry.”
“The president thinks very highly of Larry Kudlow,” White House deputy press secretary Raj Shah told reporters aboard Air Force One as Trump flew to Missouri from California on Wednesday. “They had a great conversation on the phone yesterday.” He added that “many people” wanted the NEC job.
