“He has the role that Rush Limbaugh had in the ’90s and he’s very aware of it,” Schweppe said. “Tucker is setting the terms of ’24 right now, he is the moderator. He’ll be hugely influential in terms of setting the topics. He has the bully pulpit.”
And that's exactly where he's going to stay. Tucker is going to keep the culture war alive, and any candidate who "gets it" will benefit. He loses influence if he tries to become the candidate himself.
