In an interview with the Columbia Journalism Review released Wednesday, Carlson said he would 'help build a third party,' insisting there should be a good-faith effort to figure out what benefits the country. He claimed that Democrats and Republicans have become indistinguishable on key issues, creating a one-party state posing as a democracy.
Carlson's comments come amid growing tensions between him and Trump. Carlson has criticized Trump for his decision to start a war with Iran, suggesting outsized Israeli influence on the President. In April, Carlson apologized to his podcast audience for 'misleading' them regarding his support for Trump.
The idea of a third party is not new. Former 2020 Democratic presidential primary candidate Andrew Yang has pushed for representation beyond the two-party system with his Forward Party, but has encountered limited success. Similarly, Tesla CEO Elon Musk and former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene have also expressed interest in challenging America's political system.
