Tucker Carlson Breaks With Trump Over Foreign Policy While Endorsing Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed

Tucker Carlson has spent the past few days at the center of several overlapping stories involving foreign policy, the Michigan Senate race, and his strained relationship with Donald Trump, all while continuing to build his independent media brand. In a new interview on the program Going Underground, aired by RT and covered by outlets like Gulf News and The Business Standard, Carlson warned that the world is “on the brink of a world war” that could end in the use of nuclear weapons. In that conversation he argued that the US is effectively at war with Russia via Ukraine, and that the US-Israeli war on Iran risks merging into a single global conflict. He said he had privately urged Donald Trump, in an Oval Office meeting earlier this year, to recognize that a prolonged Iran war would destabilize Gulf states, strengthen Israel’s regional position, and erode US influence, claiming Trump agreed with his assessment. The interview also featured his broader critiques of US censorship, support for Israel, and the shifting global balance of power. Those foreign‑policy arguments have fed directly into domestic political controversy. Multiple outlets including the New York Post, Mediaite, and Fox23 report that Carlson has effectively endorsed Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed while savaging the Republican nominee, former congressman Mike Rogers. In a recent newsletter released around the 25th anniversary of 9/11, Carlson defended El-Sayed’s comments about America’s post‑9/11 wars, calling him “obviously right” that US actions scarred millions abroad, and urged “the good people of Michigan” to keep Rogers “far away from Washington.” On his show and in interviews with platforms like Breaking Points, he went further, saying he would not vote for Rogers “at gunpoint” and labeling him a tool of Israel and the intelligence agencies. This has triggered sharp pushback from Republicans, with figures such as Vice President J.D. Vance publicly denouncing Carlson’s stance and calling El-Sayed “crazy” and “evil.” At the same time, Carlson’s own relationship with Trump has deteriorated into open rupture. In a recent WABC radio interview highlighted by Vinnews, Trump told host Sid Rosenberg that he “dumped” Carlson months ago over “very bad” comments, saying Carlson “never really liked me” and criticizing his attacks on conservative commentator Mark Levin. Trump now portrays Carlson as irrelevant and questions his motives, while Carlson continues to attack Trump’s Iran policy and broader foreign‑policy choices from his independent platform. Carlson has also used recent interviews with Russian state media to again praise Moscow as “much nicer” and “infinitely better” than New York, comments reported by outlets such as RIA Novosti and EADaily. Those remarks reinforce his long‑running narrative that Western media mislead Americans about Russia and have drawn fresh criticism at home. All of this plays out against the backdrop of Carlson’s ongoing YouTube and subscription‑based projects, including his past 9/11 documentary series and his newsletter, which are central vehicles for these latest interventions. His recent moves highlight how a prominent right‑wing figure is now attacking core GOP candidates, challenging US policy toward Israel and Iran, and clashing publicly with Trump, intensifying debates over his influence on both conservative politics and the wider media ecosystem.
