He 'Never Backed Down From Defending His People': Tucker Carlson Finally Clears The Air About A Potential 2024 Presidential Run

Attorney Harmeet Dhillon effectively shut down rumors of a Tucker Carlson 2024 presidential ticket on Monday, after the former political pundit parted ways with Fox News late last month.

Rumors of a Tucker White House run had been swirling for some time. Fox News host Greg Gutfeld jokingly hinted at this possibility on the day of Tucker's departure from the network was announced. Indeed, this noise was the context for the creation of a Political Action Committee (PAC)-- the 'Draft Tucker PAC.' As the name suggests, the PAC attempted to draft the former Fox News personality into the Republican presidential race -- airing a Newsmax ad as a result of these efforts. But as Tucker's Attorney Harmeet Dhillion made clear, this will not happen. 

“Mr. Carlson will not run for President in 2024 under any circumstances, and therefore your misrepresentations are damaging to Mr. Carlson and defrauding his supporters,” Dhillon wrote in her letter, as previously reported by the Hill. 

“If you do not immediately cease and desist your efforts to solicit money to ‘draft’ Mr. Carlson, we will use every legal means at our disposal to vindicate his rights and protect his supporters from these misrepresentations,” she added.

It is hard to be any more emphatic than that. No matter Tucker's qualifications for the job, it looks as though he is not willing to enter the already crowded 2024 race for the White House -- with the field widening every passing day, it seems.  

In response, the Draft Tucker PAC issued a statement signaling their compliance.

“Tucker’s attorney has contacted us to let us know that Tucker is not a candidate for president nor has any intentions of running and asked us to cease all activities on his behalf. We are going to honor that request," Spokesman Charlie Kolean said in a statement, as previously reported by the Hill.

Kolean also added, "we hoped that a Tucker candidacy would open the Overton Window to the Right. We wish Tucker the best & profoundly hope he will not be silenced in this crucial presidential cycle. We consider Tucker Carlson to be the heir of Fearless Rush Limbaugh who never backed down from defending his people."

Dhillon responded to the PAC's statement by saying, "on behalf of Tucker Carlson, we are pleased that this unauthorized use of his name and likeness to raise funds and gather data from his supporters, has been brought to an end without the need for litigation. Mr. Carlson looks forward to sharing his new projects with the public in the near future.”
