The media operator Tucker Carlson announced his intention to promote the creation of a “third party” in the United States, amid his growing estrangement from Donald Trump and other Republican leaders.
The initiative, confirmed in an interview published on July 1, comes ahead of the midterm elections in the U.S., aiming to harm Trump and attempt to divide the conservative vote.
Carlson, former Fox News host and current host of a weekly political podcast, stated that both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party share "similar positions" on key issues, especially in foreign policy.

“The Democratic and Republican parties ‘maintain absolute solidarity with each other’ in foreign policy, the war in the Middle East, and other matters,” he asserted.
In this context, he raised the need for a political alternative: “We need a third party.” He went further by confirming his active role in that process: “I will help build a third party. There should be a good faith effort to determine what benefits the country.”
The announcement comes after a political break with Trump, with whom Carlson had maintained a close relationship. The differences deepened after the president ordered in February airstrikes against Iran, aimed at preventing the terrorist regime from developing nuclear weapons.

In that vein, Carlson also expressed criticism of Israel's war in Gaza, which began after the attack by the terrorist group Hamas on October 7, 2023.
Despite promoting the initiative, Carlson ruled out running for office within the new political structure. “I don’t want to be a candidate,” he assured. However, he made it clear his commitment to the project: “There will be a third party, and I will do everything possible to make that happen.”
The launch of this proposal occurs at a key moment in the U.S. political calendar, with elections on the horizon and the Trump administration trying to secure as many legislators as possible, ensuring crucial support in Congress to advance its reform agenda.
In this scenario, Carlson's initiative not only marks his break with Trump but also actively seeks to divide the conservative vote, harming Republicans and benefiting the leftists of the Democratic Party.
