Summary
Tucker Carlson said he plans to help build a third party after leaving the Republican Party, though he said he has no interest in running for office.
Carlson told the Columbia Journalism Review he broke with the GOP over the war with Iran and believes the party abandoned “America first” principles under Donald Trump.
The former Fox News host and podcaster said he had defended Republicans for 35 years before quitting last month.
Immigration could be a defining issue for the new effort: Carlson said he supports “ending all immigration” as both major parties face internal strains over foreign policy.
