Tucker Carlson Open to Moderating GOP Debate Sans RNC Involvement

The former Fox News anchor's statement follows the RNC's decision to pause its participation in the 2024 primary debates.

Tucker Carlson, former Fox News anchor, has expressed willingness to moderate a Republican presidential primary debate, provided the Republican National Committee (RNC) is not involved.
Carlson's comments follow a suggestion by GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy during last month's debate that figures like Carlson, Elon Musk, and Joe Rogan should co-host future debates instead of the RNC.
The RNC recently announced a pause in its participation in the 2024 primary debates, meaning future debates will be hosted by networks independently of the committee.
Carlson likened the RNC to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, saying neither had a 'reason for being' and only consumed resources.
Two outlets, CNN and ABC, have already announced plans to host debates in the new year in Iowa and New Hampshire.
