Tucker Carlson Considers Holding GOP Candidate Forum

A new report from the Washington Post reveals that Tucker Carlson, formerly the standard bearer for Fox News before the network took him off the air, has considered running his own GOP candidate forum for the 2024 presidential election.

And that, likely, could end up being a “jab” at Fox, as the network wants to hold the first official primary debate.

Carlson, whose abrupt departure from Fox airtime left the network’s ratings collapsing to levels below even those of competitors who hadn’t realistically been in the race for years, hasn’t formally announced any plans for his future.

The report said, though, he now has aspirations “of moving into a larger role that doesn’t limit him to a single medium, according to people familiar with his thinking.”

“And he is willing to walk away from some of the millions that Fox is contractually obligated to pay him, if that would give him the flexibility to have a prominent voice in the 2024 election cycle,” the report said.

Observers have pointed out that leftists desperately wanted to take his voice off the air as the 2024 presidential race begins to assemble, and one way would be for Fox to take him off the air, but still cough up the millions called for in his contract, thereby limiting his other choices.
