Tucker Carlson claims the recent Democratic Party victory in the midterm elections marks the end of both the Trump era and the Fox News era. On his Wednesday YouTube show, the former Fox News host criticized both the Republican Party and his former employer for their roles in the results. Carlson accused Fox News of being "the main lobby" among American organizations that pushed President Trump into entering the Iran War, which has been blamed for the Republican losses.

Carlson cited a former White House staffer who described Fox News as Trump's "real presidential brief," arguing that "there’s some truth in that."

Regarding Fox News' future, he said, "I mean, it’ll continue, they’ve got cable subscriptions and everything, but like this is — we’re done here with Fox News." Carlson is not the only high-profile conservative figure blaming the Iran War for the election results; Vice President JD Vance also made similar claims. "The reason we lost is the war," Vance wrote on X, adding, "If you’d like to argue it was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay."
