Tucker Carlson and allies weigh forming a new "America First" third party

Aug 12, 2026

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.
