Just months before the midterms are expected to take place Tucker Carlson has announced he is departing ways with the Republican Party.
In a recent interview on the Canadian podcast “Can’t Be Censored,” Tucker Carlson announced he will no longer be supporting the Republican Party.
Tucker then noted he will not be supporting the Democrat Party either.
AP reported more on Carlson’s shocking remarks:
Longtime conservative commentator Tucker Carlson said on a podcast that “there’s no chance I would support the Republican Party” ahead of the November midterm elections, dismissing the political affiliation he’s defended as a pundit for decades, including as one of Fox News Channel’s most popular hosts.
“Not gonna support the Democratic Party,” Carlson was quick to add, speaking late last week on the show “Can’t Be Censored.” “I don’t know what I’m going to do.”
Carlson, who has amassed a large following on his own podcast since being fired from Fox News in 2023, has more recently diverged from the party, a disillusionment supercharged by President Donald Trump’s decision to go to war with Iran in February.
Carlson supported Trump in 2024. After the war began, he apologized for supporting the then-presidential candidate and “misleading people,” saying it wasn’t intentional.
He’s repeatedly criticized the war as being at the behest of Israel at the expense of Americans, and attacked the party for failing to represent its own voters, citizens and nation.
“They are making decisions on the basis of other criteria, what’s best for this company, what’s best for Israel, what’s best for our donors,” he said. “That’s not just, like, they are off in the wrong direction, like, that is unacceptable, that’s treasonous, it’s immoral, it can’t continue.”
“I’ve been a consistent defender for 35 years of the Republican Party, I mean very consistent defender, but there’s no defending this,” he said. “So no, I’m out. And if I’m out, then I think a lot of other people are out.”

Later in the same interview, Carlson defended Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner of Maine.
The Daily Wire covered Carlson’s remarks on Platner:
Tucker Carlson on Thursday downplayed and defended Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner’s Nazi tattoo.
On the Canadian “Can’t Be Censored“ podcast, the former Fox News host sat down with Travis Dhanraj and Karman Wong to discuss President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Israel, Iran, and why he says he can no longer support the Republican Party.
Carlson raised eyebrows with his defense of Platner’s candidacy to challenge incumbent Republican Senator Susan Collins in Maine, where Carlson also lives. Republicans across the country have targeted Platner over a series of personal scandals, including a Nazi tattoo that women around him have said he understood the meaning of.
“Look at Graham Platner, this guy who’s running in the state of Maine, where I live … he’s a Democrat, he’s liberal, I don’t have strong feelings about it,” Carlson said. “But rather than respond to what the guy’s positions are, they just have called him a Nazi for the last month, because he had a tattoo that was not a swastika, but apparently it was connected to the German military at some point, it’s not even clear he knew that.”
Then, the podcaster speculated why Republicans don’t support the Bernie Sanders-backed leftist.
“They’ve attacked the guy, and his personal life. They don’t like him because he’s not sufficiently supportive of Israel,” Carlson added.
Here’s the moment Carlson defended Platner:
