Tucker Carlson is not leaving the GOP. He wants to take it over

The podcast host envisions a more radical Republican Party

Published June 26, 2026 6:45AM (EDT)

Tucker Carlson knows how to get attention. The former Fox News host-turned-powerhouse podcaster got explosive headlines after telling a Canadian podcast “Can’t Be Censored” last week that “there’s no chance I would support the Republican Party” in the upcoming midterms.

Mainstream news outlets portrayed this move in laudatory terms. Carlson is an opponent of the Iran war, so the coverage made it seem like he’s moderating his politics. Words like “disillusioned” were invoked, along with his criticisms of Donald Trump for ignoring the economic woes caused by the war.

This is a lovely fable of a longtime Republican loyalist breaking with his party because it’s grown too extreme and out-of-touch. Add a hopeful note about how this could demobilize........
