The former president has said for weeks he doesn’t plan to go to the debate to be held Wednesday. His advisers say he has already recorded the interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

Former president Donald Trump intends to skip the first Republican presidential primary debate in Milwaukee on Wednesday and instead plans to post a prerecorded interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson that will be released that night, according to a person briefed on the matter.

Trump advisers said the interview had already been recorded. It is not yet clear where the interview will appear. Carlson has started a show on X, formerly called Twitter, but Trump sees the platform as a rival to Truth Social, which he helped create.

      Trump knows Tucker will give him easier questions most likely.

      I’d bet big money that Tucker will give him only the questions Trump has written for him to ask, AND that the wording and other details will make it very clear this is so. I’m looking forward to being amused by the clips from it that will show up the next day.
