Tucker Carlson floats idea of new political party in the US in interview

Former Fox News host further said he doesn’t ‘want to be a candidate’ for president and aired frustration with Trump

Tucker Carlson, the rightwing broadcaster, wants to help build a new political party in the United States, he said in an interview – though he gave scant detail about the party, and did not indicate whether he was referring to a concrete project or merely musing.

In the same interview, Carlson dismissed the idea of running for office as part of that new party. “I don’t want to be a candidate,” he said.
