Tucker Carlson says he's done with the Republican Party
Tucker Carlson, a lifelong Republican and vocal Trump campaigner, now says he won't back either party — a sign of cracking support on the political right.
- Carlson says he can no longer vote Republican, calling the party disloyal for putting a foreign country's interests above Americans'.
- His break matters because he openly campaigned for Trump, so his exit signals wider disillusionment in the MAGA base.
- The anger centers on broken promises: no full release of the JFK or Epstein files, and money flowing to Iran and Ukraine while Americans struggle.
- Critics see Trump burning through political goodwill fast, with bruising midterm losses expected.
- J.D. Vance is named as the likely next flashpoint, distrusted for his ties to big-money donors like Peter Thiel and Palantir.
Outlook: Expect louder talk of the two parties as one "uniparty" and growing pressure on Republicans heading into a rough midterm season.
