Tucker Carlson, a political commentator, made appearances at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, showcasing his support for former President Donald Trump. Despite Carlson's past controversies and strained relationships with Fox News and the Murdochs, he emphasized Trump's leadership qualities and portrayed him as a transformative figure after an assassination attempt. Carlson's presence at the convention and his close ties to Trump's inner circle indicate a continued influence within conservative circles. The convention highlighted support for Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, culminating in Trump's first formal speech as the party nominee since surviving the recent assassination attempt.
