Tucker opposes Trump’s choice of Nikki Haley as VP
Tucker Carlson’s Stance on Trump’s Running Mate
Tucker Carlson made a bold statement about his support for Donald Trump in the 2024 general election. He declared that he would not vote for Trump if he chooses Nikki Haley as his running mate.
In a podcast with Roseanne Barr, Carlson initially expressed his agreement with Trump’s policies. However, he admitted that he became an active supporter after the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago.
Tucker Carlson tells Roseanne Barr that he became a Trump supporter the day the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago:
“I’ve always agreed with Trump’s policies. I became an active Trump supporter when they raided Mar-A-Lago last summer. That can’t stand. I agree with Trump on a lot but even… pic.twitter.com/sq4mfnwAst

During a live recording of “Timcast IRL” at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest 2023, Carlson revealed that his support for the leading primary and general polls candidate would be jeopardized if Trump chooses the wrong running mate.
Host Tim Pool asked Carlson if he would vote for Trump if Nikki Haley became the Vice President. This question arose from Lara Trump’s recent TV interview where she did not dismiss Haley as a VP prospect.
Carlson’s response was clear: “I would not only not vote for that ticket, I would advocate against it as strongly as I could.” His statement shocked the AmFest audience and his fellow panelists.

According to Carlson, adding Haley to the Trump ticket would be detrimental. He described her as someone who is opposed to the interests of the country, endorsed the BLM riots, and holds neoliberal views.
When Pool asked if even Trump-Haley is a no-go, Carlson stood firm in his opposition. He couldn’t fathom a world where that could happen and emphasized Haley’s dismissal of American interests.
Another panelist even suggested that Trump would be assassinated if he chose Haley. This suggestion brings to mind Carlson’s previous exchange with Trump, where he speculated about the deep state’s intentions.
Pool then asked his guests who they thought Trump should pick as a running mate. Charlie Kirk recommended Carlson himself, but Carlson humbly declined. Instead, he suggested Vivek Ramaswamy, another Republican presidential candidate, as a more suitable choice.
Carlson admired Ramaswamy’s sincerity and his genuine opposition to Haley’s views. He appreciated that Ramaswamy wasn’t attacking her because she’s a woman, but because he genuinely believed her views were detrimental to the country.

How might Tucker Carlson’s strong stance against Nikki Haley as a potential Vice President impact voter support for Donald Trump?
Tucker Carlson, a prominent conservative television host, has recently made headlines for his strong stance on Donald Trump’s choice of running mate for the 2024 general election. Carlson has boldly declared that he would not support Trump if he were to select Nikki Haley as his Vice President.
During a podcast conversation with comedian Roseanne Barr, Carlson initially expressed his agreement with Trump’s policies. However, he revealed that he became an active supporter after the FBI conducted a raid on Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s private club and residence. The raid seemed to have had a profound impact on Carlson, leading him to voice his unwavering support for the former president.
This declaration was further solidified during a live recording of the “Timcast IRL” show at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest 2023. Host Tim Pool asked Carlson if he would vote for Trump if Nikki Haley, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, became the Vice President. This question arose after Lara Trump, Trump’s daughter-in-law, did not dismiss Haley as a potential VP prospect in a recent TV interview.
To the surprise of the audience and his fellow panelists, Carlson responded with unwavering certainty, stating, “I would not only not vote for that ticket, I would advocate against it as strongly as I could.” His vehement opposition to Haley as a running mate is clear.
Carlson’s stance on Trump’s potential running mate has generated significant controversy and debate. While the reasons behind his strong opposition to Haley are not explicitly stated, it is apparent that he perceives her as being actively opposed to the interests of the country and not aligned with the values he grew up with.
As the 2024 general election draws nearer, Carlson’s statement raises questions about the potential impact of a candidate’s choice of running mate on voter support. The selection of a running mate is often seen as a strategic decision aimed at balancing the ticket and broadening its appeal. However, Carlson’s assertion that he would actively advocate against a ticket featuring Haley illustrates the weight and significance of this decision.
In conclusion, Tucker Carlson’s bold stance on Donald Trump’s choice of running mate for the 2024 general election, particularly his opposition to Nikki Haley as the Vice President, has sparked controversy and ignited discussions about the importance of this decision for voters. As the political landscape evolves, it remains to be seen how Carlson’s position aligns with broader public sentiment and influences the dynamics of the upcoming election.
