• Despite the alleged offer, Carlson reaffirmed his support for Trump and dismissed the idea of running, noting he 'likes Trump' and doubted his own electability.
• Since leaving Fox, Carlson has launched his own media platform and accused his former employer of spreading pro-war 'propaganda' in its Iran-Israel conflict coverage.
