'Carlson has become the intellectual hub for a small but vocal faction of MAGA exiles who say Trump abandoned the “America First” agenda by launching the Iran war, mishandling the Epstein files and allowing Israel to exert too much influence over U.S. policy.'
By Zachary Basu: Tucker Carlson used a highly promoted livestream Wednesday to unveil a 10-point vision for America — defining the worldview of a breakaway MAGA faction increasingly at odds with President Trump.
Why it matters: After vowing last month to “help build a third party,” Carlson fueled further speculation this weekend by hosting MAGA dissidents at his home in Maine, where they urged him to run for president in 2028.
- The former Fox News host stopped short of a formal launch, instead presenting the manifesto as the foundation for “whatever comes next” — a new political order he said could “find all kinds of expressions.”
