What was said

"If Tucker ran in the Republican primary, he would win it. Period. And Tucker would be very hard to beat in a general election."

Following Tucker Carlson's announcement supporting a third party, Cenk Uygur stated that Carlson would win the Republican nomination if he ran and would pose a serious threat in a general election. Uygur expressed surprise that Carlson chose the third-party route rather than running in the Republican primary. He noted that independents now vastly outnumber Republicans or Democrats, making a third party more viable than in previous cycles.
