Overview
- Tucker Carlson told the Columbia Journalism Review that he will “help build a third party,” said he does not plan to run for office, and said he has cut off contact with President Trump.
- Marjorie Taylor Greene told Piers Morgan she is “in talks” with others about launching a “true America-focused” party but said it would take multiple election cycles to establish.
- Both figures framed the move as a response to U.S. policy on the Iran war and to perceived foreign influence, with Carlson singling out pro‑Israel donors and urging a focus on Americans’ economic welfare.
- Organizers and analysts warn that forming a viable national party requires years of state-by-state work on ballot access, fundraising, candidate recruitment, and legal defenses.
- So far the effort is exploratory with no formal party registered, but the break deepens fractures within MAGA-aligned circles and could reshape right‑wing organizing if it matures.
