It looks like we may be getting an inkling of Tucker Carlson’s next move. It’s being reported today that he wants to host a 2024 Presidential forum for the Republican candidates.
And he’s already spoken with Trump about the idea:
Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News primetime host whose exit from the network sent shockwaves through political media last week, is reportedly floating the idea of hosting his own Republican primary forum.
Carlson’s unexpected departure from the company has left the media world wondering what he will do next. Carlson, according to the Washington Post, citing people familiar with his thinking, is interested in hosting a forum for 2024 GOP candidates.
Carlson has even chatted about the idea with former President Trump, according to the report, who has threatened to skip one or both of the first Republican debates that are scheduled for the summer. The first GOP debate is slated to be hosted by Carlson’s former network, Fox News.
Carlson’s contract with Fox News reportedly runs through the end of 2024, which could limit his ability to dip his toes into other ventures until then.
But the Post, citing a source close to Carlson, said the cable host would be willing to part with millions of dollars that is owed to him by the company to be able to start a new gig sooner.
If the money from his old job is no longer a concern for him, then it seems very likely it could happen.
Honestly the idea is intriguing. To have someone of his caliber on the right to host presidential forums with each candidate could be very enlightening.
The debates have really become old hat anyway. They serve a purpose, but I’d love to see something like this replace them. I say go for it!
