Tucker Carlson, a former anchor of Fox News, declared on Monday that he would oppose the reelection efforts of former President Donald Trump should he choose Nikki Haley as his running mate.
Tim Pool asked Tucker Carlson during a live discussion at AmericaFest hosted by Turning Point USA, “Would you vote for Trump if he selected Nikki as his vice president?”
“I would not only not vote for that ticket, I would advocate against it as strongly as I could.” Carlson said in reply.
“That’s just poison. I mean, here’s someone who’s actively opposed to the interests of the country I grew up in, who endorsed the BLM riots, and who is not left, but is neoliberal in the darkest, most – speaking of nihilist – nihilistic way, and has no real popular support, is a creature of the oligarchs. So yeah, that would be– that would be reason to oppose the ticket.” he continued.
In recent weeks, rumors have circulated regarding the possibility of a Trump-Haley ticket, given that Haley has surpassed Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in some polls to claim the second position in the Republican primary.
Lara Trump, the daughter-in-law of Trump, declined to rule out a Trump-Haley ticket last week.
