Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News host and onetime Trump loyalist, announced this week that he no longer considers himself a supporter of the Republican Party.
“The poll numbers now tell a pretty clear story about it. I would not support the Republican Party; there’s no chance,” Carlson said on a podcast this week, per The Hill. “Not because I support the Democratic Party. I don’t know what I’m going to do.”
“It’s not possible to vote for people like that and I’m not going to,” he said. “I voted Republican my entire life, I worked at Fox News … I’ve been a consistent defender for 35 years of the Republican Party, but there’s no defending this because it’s immoral,” Carlson added.
Tucker is not the only one who is done supporting the Republican Party.
There is A LOT of us that are absolutely fed up and will not support a party that betrays its voters and country.
That does not mean we are turning into Democrats either.
But we are DONE with the America…

Also, it turns out another longtime Trump loyalist could be making a similar exit.
Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said on X this week that Carlson isn’t the only one.
“Tucker is not the only one who is done supporting the Republican Party. There is A LOT of us that are absolutely fed up and will not support a party that betrays its voters and country. That does not mean we are turning into Democrats either. But we are DONE with the America LAST Republican Party,” Greene said on social media.
Carlson and Greene was both people, solidly of the right wing, who do not seem likely to ever sign up with the Democrats. But both have also solidly broken with Donald Trump’s version of the party, especially when it comes to the war with Iran, and support for Israel.
Earlier in the weekend, Greene sided with Giorgia Meloni, the prime minister of Italy, and another person firmly on the political right — Meloni belongs to a party considered in the political lineage of Benito Mussolini — when she criticized Trump for lying about an interaction between them.
I believe @GiorgiaMeloni, she’s great!
Trump lies. Constantly. https://t.co/JpXdAh0daT— Marjorie Taylor Greene 🇺🇸 (@mtgreenee) June 19, 2026
“I believe @GiorgiaMeloni, she’s great!,” Greene said of the prime minister. “Trump lies. Constantly.”
