Tucker Carlson Blames 'Weak' Trump for GOP Midterm Defeat Prediction

Tucker Carlson, former Fox News host, predicted the Republican Party will be 'spanked' in the midterm elections during a Bloomberg TV interview. He sharply criticized President Donald Trump, calling him 'weak' for starting a war with Iran and accusing him of allowing the US government to be 'steered' by Israel. Carlson stated he held Trump directly accountable and argued that Trump betrayed the country and his voters by failing to resist outside pressures and uproot the 'deep state.' He also expressed support for Vice President JD Vance, saying he wished Vance had been elected president in 2024. Carlson is among several conservatives who have faced attacks from Trump for criticizing the Iran war.
