Larry Kudlow Is the New Favorite to Replace Gary Cohn
Mr. Kudlow fits the profile of the type of adviser Mr. Trump would probably favor for the second-wave of hires in an administration where he has sought people who “look the part.” Mr. Kudlow, who advised Mr. Trump during his campaign
and after he became president, is someone with whom Mr. Trump has a rapport, and he is a media personality whom the president enjoys watching on television, according to aides.

WASHINGTON — Larry Kudlow, a CNBC television commentator who has informally advised President Trump on economic issues,
is currently the top contender to head the National Economic Council, according to three people close to the president.
“My own hope is, if Larry gets this job, he can have an impact in pushing Trump in a good direction on this.”
Mr. Moore said that Mr. Kudlow would serve Mr. Trump well as a salesman for his economic agenda, including tax cuts and deregulation, and
that his history with Mr. Trump was a factor in his consideration.
On Sunday, Mr. Trump again began discussing Mr. Kudlow as an option, the people close to the president said.
