Tucker Carlson Claims He’s Building a Political Party After a Messy Breakup With Republicans
Carlson says the new party would target voters who feel unrepresented, as third parties could sway close House and Senate races, analysts said.
- On Wednesday, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson announced he is working to build a new political party, declaring the U.S. is "a one-party state posing as a democracy" that "needs to be broken."
- Carlson's break from President Donald Trump stems from disagreements over U.S. foreign intervention, particularly the administration's military conflict with Iran; he visited the White House three times to warn against strikes.
- Former Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is also discussing a "true America-focused party," though she has not spoken to Carlson about it; he reiterated, "I don't want to be a candidate."
- Historically, third parties face significant structural barriers like winner-take-all electoral systems and strict ballot access laws, limiting sustained national support and making few endure as permanent political forces.
- Control of Congress remains at stake on November 3, and analysts warn that siphoning votes from Republican candidates in swing districts could prove consequential in determining outcomes of the midterm elections.
