MAGA Is In Turmoil Over Tucker Carlson’s Possible 2028 Presidential Bid
塔克·卡尔森可能竞选2028年总统，MAGA阵营陷入动荡
A new coalition of high-profile MAGA figures has launched a movement with the aim of running a third-party candidate in the 2028 presidential election. The name at the top of their list: former Fox News star Tucker Carlson. 一个由多位MAGA（让美国再次伟大）重量级人物组成的新联盟发起了一项运动，旨在推举一名第三方候选人参加2028年总统大选。他们名单上的首选人物是：前福克斯新闻明星塔克·卡尔森（Tucker Carlson）。
On Saturday, former US representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia shared a picture on X taken at Carlson’s cabin in Maine, where Greene and Carlson appeared around a large wooden table alongside former representative Thomas Massie and Joe Kent, the former head of the US National Counterterrorism Center. 周六，佐治亚州前美国众议员玛乔丽·泰勒·格林（Marjorie Taylor Greene）在X（原推特）上分享了一张在卡尔森位于缅因州的小木屋拍摄的照片。照片中，格林和卡尔森与前众议员托马斯·马西（Thomas Massie）以及美国国家反恐中心前负责人乔·肯特（Joe Kent）围坐在一张大木桌旁。
“We said no more foreign wars and we meant it and supported Donald Trump because he made that promise,” Greene wrote in a caption accompanying the photo. “But he’s betrayed us all. Our commitment is America First for all Americans, right, left, and center. The movement has begun.” “我们说过不再进行对外战争，我们是认真的，并支持唐纳德·特朗普，因为他做出了那个承诺，”格林在照片配文中写道。“但他背叛了我们所有人。我们的承诺是为所有美国人实现‘美国优先’，无论立场偏右、偏左还是中间派。运动已经开始了。”
On Tuesday, Carlson shared Greene’s post on his X account and wrote: “MAGA was betrayed. We all were. It’s time for a new path forward.” Carlson promised to share more about the group’s plans on his show on Wednesday evening. 周二，卡尔森在自己的X账号上转发了格林的帖子，并写道：“MAGA被背叛了。我们都被背叛了。是时候开辟一条新的前进道路了。”卡尔森承诺将在周三晚上的节目中分享更多关于该组织计划的信息。
On Tuesday evening, Kent appeared on The Young Turks show and revealed that their group has been trying to convince Carlson to run for president in 2028. “I’d say all of us at one point in time told Tucker he needs to run, and Tucker’s been pretty public that he’s not going to run,” said Kent. “So, we all made our pitch to Tucker as to why he should run, and hopefully he wakes up one day and Tucker says he’s going to run.” (In late June, Carlson reiterated that he did not plan to run for office.) 周二晚上，肯特在《青年土耳其人》（The Young Turks）节目中透露，他们的小组一直在试图说服卡尔森参加2028年总统竞选。“我想我们所有人都曾在某个时刻告诉塔克他需要参选，而塔克也公开表示过他不会参选，”肯特说。“所以，我们都向塔克陈述了他应该参选的理由，希望有一天他醒来时会说他要参选。”（6月下旬，卡尔森重申他没有竞选公职的计划。）
Kent also said the group is exploring the possibility of getting a third-party candidate on the ballot in all 50 states, citing Health secretary Robert F. Kennedy’s struggles ahead of the 2024 election. 肯特还表示，该组织正在探索让第三方候选人进入全美50个州选票的可能性，并提到了卫生部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪（Robert F. Kennedy Jr.）在2024年大选前所面临的困境。
Carlson, Massie, Greene, and Kent are among the highest-profile MAGA figures who have split from Trump over the course of the past year, citing his failure to uphold campaign promises like releasing the Epstein files and ending foreign wars. The schism has roiled the Republican Party ahead of November’s midterms, and the decision by the group to run a third-party candidate is likely to deepen that divide. 卡尔森、马西、格林和肯特是过去一年中与特朗普分道扬镳的最知名MAGA人物，他们指责特朗普未能兑现竞选承诺，例如公开爱泼斯坦文件和结束对外战争。这种分裂在11月中期选举前搅动了共和党，而该组织推举第三方候选人的决定可能会加剧这种分歧。
While some MAGA figures welcomed the news—”Great group,” manosphere livestreamer Sneako wrote under Greene’s picture—there were many more who were very angry. 虽然一些MAGA人物对这一消息表示欢迎——“很棒的团队，”男性社区（manosphere）直播主Sneako在格林的照片下写道——但更多人感到非常愤怒。
“He’s a lunatic! Tucker wants to hijack the GOP in 2026 and 2028,” Laura Loomer, a staunch Trump supporter, wrote on X, citing Kent’s interview on The Young Turks. “Will be shorter lived than Musk’s ‘America Party’” the influential MAGA account Captive Dreamer wrote on X in response to Carlson’s post. “他是个疯子！塔克想在2026年和2028年劫持共和党，”特朗普的坚定支持者劳拉·卢默（Laura Loomer）在X上写道，并引用了肯特在《青年土耳其人》节目中的采访。“这比马斯克的‘美国党’寿命更短，”有影响力的MAGA账号Captive Dreamer在回应卡尔森的帖子时写道。
Replying to the same post, Phillip Buchanan, the prominent MAGA influencer known as Catturd, wrote on X: “All of you combined have zero pull anymore. You can’t even move the needle much less start a movement. Table full of laughingstocks.” 在回复同一帖子时，以“Catturd”为名的知名MAGA网红菲利普·布坎南（Phillip Buchanan）在X上写道：“你们所有人加起来已经没有任何号召力了。你们连一点影响力都产生不了，更别提发起一场运动了。满桌子的笑柄。”
“A set of vultures circling the 2028 election,” David Clements, a prominent election denier, wrote on X quoting Greene’s post. “No, thanks. I’ll stand with Trump.” “一群盘旋在2028年大选上空的秃鹫，”著名的选举舞弊论者大卫·克莱门茨（David Clements）在引用格林的帖子时写道。“不，谢谢。我支持特朗普。”
Carlson did not respond to a request for comment. “President Trump created the greatest political movement in the history of politics with the MAGA movement, and he remains the unequivocal leader of the Republican Party,” White House spokesperson Davis Ingle tells WIRED. “The president is committed to maintaining Republican majorities in Congress and continuing to lower costs for working families. Meanwhile, this photo represents an embarrassing collection of mostly whiny turncoats who dramatically overestimate their influence and relevance.” 卡尔森没有回应置评请求。“特朗普总统通过MAGA运动创造了政治史上最伟大的政治运动，他仍然是共和党无可争议的领袖，”白宫发言人戴维斯·英格尔（Davis Ingle）告诉《连线》（WIRED）。“总统致力于维持共和党在国会的多数席位，并继续为工薪家庭降低成本。与此同时，这张照片代表了一群令人尴尬的、大多是爱发牢骚的变节者，他们严重高估了自己的影响力和相关性。”
Kent also shared that the aim of the new movement, which he said could eventually become a new party, is to focus on finding a candidate for the 2028 presidential election and to create “a broad coalition” focused on an America First agenda. 肯特还表示，这项新运动的目标（他称最终可能演变成一个新政党）是专注于寻找2028年总统大选的候选人，并建立一个专注于“美国优先”议程的“广泛联盟”。
“We’re done with the foreign wars,” said Kent. “We’re done with the foreign lobbying. We’re gonna work together to do what’s right for the American people.” “我们受够了对外战争，”肯特说。“我们受够了外国游说。我们将共同努力，为美国人民做正确的事。”
Nick Fuentes, the white-nationalist creator of the America First movement who sparked anger within MAGA when Carlson interviewed him last year, dismissed the new group’s efforts. 白人民族主义者、“美国优先”运动的创始人尼克·富恩特斯（Nick Fuentes）去年因卡尔森对他的采访而在MAGA内部引发愤怒，他驳斥了该新团体的努力。
“They are going to try to create this America First movement without me, but it has to exclude me because it will also be without any kind of strong message on religion, race, or maybe even immigration,” Fuentes wrote on his Telegram channel. “These people will also all support JD Vance in 2028.” “他们试图在没有我的情况下建立这个‘美国优先’运动，但他们必须排斥我，因为这个运动也不会有任何关于宗教、种族甚至移民的强硬信息，”富恩特斯在他的Telegram频道上写道。“这些人到2028年也都会支持JD·万斯（JD Vance）。”
Trump has yet to react to the possibility of Carlson running in the election. 特朗普尚未对卡尔森可能参选的消息做出回应。
