Draft Tucker PAC Calls for Tucker Carlson as Republican Presidential Candidate in 2024


(MENAFN) Draft Tucker PAC, a Political action campaign, recently unveiled a campaign ad with a bold message: urging the Republican Party to select former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson as its presidential candidate for the 2024 elections. The 30-second spot, released on Thursday, describes Carlson as a potential leader, highlighting his wit, sharpness, and his tendency to mock what it terms as "woke nonsense." The advertisement confidently asserts that Carlson would outperform President Joe Biden in a debate, emphasizing his articulation as unmatched by anyone in the country.

Chris Ekstrom, a former Texas congressional candidate and Republican donor, leads the Draft Tucker PAC. Formally established last month following Carlson's departure from Fox News, the organization aims to persuade Carlson to enter the political race. The campaign ad encourages viewers to sign a petition supporting the movement to draft the conservative commentator as a presidential contender.

In an interview with The Hill, Ekstrom expressed his concerns about the current Republican frontrunners for the 2024 elections, former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. He voiced apprehension that these candidates may not be pushing the conversation in the desired direction. Ekstrom indicated a desire for a more right-leaning approach in the political discourse, without explicitly specifying where he perceives the declared candidates' positions to be lacking.
