Tucker Carlson and allies weigh forming a new "America First" third party
A group of former Trump allies say they may launch a third party built around ending foreign wars — a real threat to both major parties.
- Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Thomas Massie, and Joe Kent met at Carlson's Maine home and are talking about a new party.
- They broke with Trump over the Epstein files and the Iran war, saying he promised no more foreign wars and then betrayed them.
- Their pitch: a simple platform against foreign wars and against lobbies like AIPAC dictating US policy, aimed at both left and right voters.
- They'd focus on the 2028 presidential race, lean on grassroots money instead of corporate donors, and reject big PAC cash.
- Both parties are now historically unpopular, and independents outnumber Republicans and Democrats — fertile ground for an outside run.
Outlook: The group is still deciding whether to run as a third party or as insurgents inside an existing party, with 2028 as the target.
