Tucker Carlson said he will not vote for Donald Trump in the 2024 general election if he chooses Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley as his running mate.
Carlson first expressed support for Trump 2024 on Roseanne Barr’s podcast in November. He claimed to have “always agreed with Trump’s policies” but admitted that he only became an “active Trump supporter when they 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— Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) November 30, 2023
The former Fox News host’s newfound support for the candidate leading primary and general polls, he promised this week during a live recording of “Timcast IRL” at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest 2023, will be threatened if Trump chooses the wrong running mate.
“Would you vote for Trump if he chose Nikki as VP?” Host Tim Pool asked
The question stems from Lara Trump’s refusal during a TV interview earlier this week to dismiss Haley as a VP prospect.
“I would not only not vote for that ticket, I would advocate against it as strongly as I could,” Carlson told the AmFest audience, receiving several shocked “wows” from his fellow panelists.
According to Carlson, adding Haley to the Trump ballot would be “poison” to his campaign.
“I mean, here’s someone who’s actively opposed to the interests of the country I grew up in, who endorsed the BLM riots, and who is not left, but is neoliberal in the darkest, most — speaking of nihilist — nihilistic way, and has no real popular supporters, is a creature of the oligarchs,” Carlson explained. “So yeah, that would be reason to oppose the ticket.”
When Pool asked once again if “even Trump-Haley is a no-go?” Carlson doubled down.
“I just can’t imagine a world where that could happen,” he said. “That would be so crazy. Anything could happen of course, but picking Nikki Haley, who’s utterly treacherous and utterly dismissive of like, the interest of Americans, yeah.”
Another panelist suggested that Trump would “get assassinated immediately.” His suggestion that the deep state would be willing to knock off Trump to install Haley as president recalls Carlson’s exchange with the former president in August, in which Carlson mused that “Indictment is not working … do they have to kill you now?”
Pool asked his guests who they thought Trump should pick as a running mate. Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk recommended Carlson.
“I don’t think I’d be that great at it,” Carlson said.
Instead, he suggested Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy would make a good choice because he has “gotten much more sincere.”
“I watch him with Nikki Haley and I’m like, this is a guy who’s very offended by her views, like for real,” Carlson concluded. “He’s not attacking her because she’s a woman, he’s attacking her because he actually thinks her views are terrible for the country he lives in. And I love that.”
If Trump wants a female VP than go with Huckabee or Noam.

Huckabee is fantastic. She would be good balance for Trump. Plus, I would love to see her as president in 2028. Myabe with Desantis as VP on that ticket. :)
Right, he said he wouldn’t vote for - not that he would vote against..
Sorry, I didn’t realize that distinction is what we were arguing about.
Trump should pick a VP who will continue the MAGA movement. It will take more than four years to turn this mighty ship-of-state to the right direction. That, plus at his age health may become a factor especially considering the way he drives himself - his passion for this country. Best to have a clone as VP.
He said he would fight against the ticket. Tge word vote isn’t in there
It would be practical to pick a VP whose home state will direct the Electoral College to Trump.
even though Haley is from SC, choosing her for a running mate will cost Trump all of the electoral votes of the south, the reddest region ...
Tucker does not say that in the interview nor anywhere else
Actually, he says it quite clearly.
The question (and answer) can be found starting at 42:38. www.rumble.com
Since the Deep State will remove Trump if he is elected, through JFK treatment if necessary, I can’t support a ticket with Nimrata the Satanist, either.
Oh my, the indignity, the bluster...
The vicars of the Republican Party are a collective nightmare.
He didn’t say “I would not vote for Trump”
Darling Nikki is an unacceptable choice.
(It's a point that was too fine for my radar, but you are correct.)
I won’t vote for a Trump ticket if Nikki Haley is on it. I had come to that decision before Tucker Carlson weighed in on that.
Pretty obvious for those who are paying attention.
Speak for yourself.
“ Most of us would. No big revelation”
It was a joke. And of course Tucker didn’t daunt his
And Trump would never pick Haley
Well e been through the wringer a back in 95 posts.
Here are a few posts
A couple who echo Tucker’s pretend sentiment, others stating he never said it:

Where in the Constitution does it state that the VICE PRESIDENT has to be a natural born citizen?
It IS crowded on your lawn.
