Kudlow, citing a “deep political insider,” had a different forecast.

“The Commerce thing is a great idea and you’re probably going to be right, but I know that you don’t hear this,” Kudlow said. “But I had dinner last night with a deep political insider who told me that Michael Bloomberg is the next Treasury secretary. I heard that. All I’ll say is this is a serious insider who said the deal has been done and that Bloomberg is the next Treasury secretary.”
