MAGA profile Tucker Carlson leaves Republican Party

I'm out. After a spring of anger and doubt, media and MAGA figure Tucker Carlson is leaving the Republican Party. He has long been one of Donald Trump's most high-profile supporters.

Tucker Carlson, who was previously a Fox News host and now hosts his own podcast, has campaigned for and alongside President Donald Trump.

But the Iran War was a turning point.

Carlson has been open about his anger over Trump's rhetoric - including his Easter call to Iran, "you crazy bastards" - and actions. In the podcast "Can't Be Censored" he accuses Republicans of "betraying" voters and Trump of prioritizing Israel's national interests over those of the United States, writes Axios.

"If I leave (the party), I think many others will too," Carlson says in the podcast.

There is widespread reporting that Carlson is considering a run for president in 2028.
