Tucker Carlson and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene have announced they are leaving the Republican Party. The two prominent conservative figures declared they are done with the G.O.P. in a public statement.
Their departure marks a significant escalation in a long-building feud with former President Donald Trump. The split could further complicate the party’s prospects in the upcoming midterm elections.
Carlson and Greene cited deep disagreements with the party’s current direction. They argued the G.O.P. has failed to uphold key conservative principles.
The rift with Trump has been growing for months. Carlson has used his platform to criticize Trump’s leadership style and policy choices.
Greene, once a staunch Trump ally, has increasingly broken ranks on major issues. Their combined influence threatens to fracture the party’s base ahead of critical races.
Political analysts warn the loss of two high-profile figures could mobilize Republican voters against the establishment. The midterms were already expected to be a challenge for the party.
Both Carlson and Greene are expected to pursue independent political efforts. Their next steps remain unclear but could reshape the conservative landscape.
