Tucker Carlson on the 2028 Presidential Ballot Would ‘Doom’ the Republican Party, Mark Halperin Says

But at the end of the day, Megyn Kelly's podcast guest thinks Carlson's bid is a long shot The post Tucker Carlson on the 2028 Presidential Ballot Would ‘Doom’ the Republican Party, Mark Halperin Says appeared first on TheWrap .

Conservative journalist Mark Halperin firmly stated on Wednesday that if Tucker Carlson somehow managed to secure a spot on the 2028 general election ballot and participated in the debates, it would spell "doom" for the Republican Party, according to a report by TheWrap. The conservative host's skepticism about Carlson's consideration of running for president was echoed by Halperin, who likened the likelihood to Halperin moving to India and pursuing a cricket career.

However, Fox News host Megyn Kelly, who believes Carlson is disillusioned with neoconservatives and the Trump administration's decision to engage in a war in Iran, asserted that the former Fox News host could conceivably run as a third-party candidate. Halperin stressed the near-impossibility of mounting a third-party campaign in the United States, despite the potential for tens of millions of supporters, and noted that establishing ballot access and selecting a nominee would pose significant challenges.
