In a bombshell revelation, Tucker Carlson, a leading conservative voice, has disclosed that the Murdoch family approached him to run for president in 2024 against Trump.

This revelation hints at deeper animosities within conservative leadership circles.
During an episode of his online show, Carlson stated that he was asked by the Murdochs to enter the presidential race following his firing from Fox News in April 2023.
According to Carlson, who formerly hosted one of Fox’s most popular shows, the Murdochs are not fans of Trump and desire to see someone else in the White House.
He claims that Lachlan Murdoch, son of media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, approached him in May 2023 with a proposal to run for office.
Carlson candidly stated, “The Murdochs really hate Trump. Like, there’s no one who hates Trump more than the Murdochs.”
This surprising statement came after Carlson’s own discontent with the Murdochs following his dismissal from Fox, which left him without his influential nightly platform.
Despite this significant offer, Carlson declined, explaining he enjoys Donald Trump and does not see himself as a viable candidate.
The Murdochs control several key conservative media outlets like Fox, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Post.
Their influence stretches widely across the media landscape, and their backing of a presidential candidate could sway public opinion.
According to Carlson, Lachlan Murdoch assured him of the family’s full support should he choose to run.
“Lachlan Murdoch said, ‘You should run for president, we’ll back you, the whole thing,'” Carlson revealed.
Despite this intriguing power play, Carlson made it clear he has no political ambitions, pointing out the improbability of being elected and his admiration for Trump.
The news reveals the Murdochs’ willingness to steer the Republican Party’s direction by potentially creating opposition for Trump.
It is worth noting that Carlson, even after criticizing Trump on certain policies like those surrounding the Middle East, maintains respect for the president.
The revelation of Murdoch’s proposition underscores deeper political dynamics at play, hinting at division among conservative elites.
Carlson has moved on by launching his own media platform, continuing to engage with political discussions and significant figures.
The ongoing tensions within the conservative sphere are evident, and only time will reveal the full ramifications of these inner conflicts.
