Tucker Carlson reveals his favorite moment of the 2024 US election

Tucker Carlson has picked his favorite moment from the US presidential election as the candidates head into the home stretch of a uniquely eventful contest.

In the 2024 election campaign, there were, among other things, two assassination attempts against a presidential candidate, Kennedy’s support for Donald Trump and the Cheney family’s support for a Democratic election program.

On Wednesday, the former Fox News host spoke with Megyn Kelly on an episode of her podcast: The Megyn Kelly Showabout the election and his new documentary, The art of recovery which chronicled the 2024 Trump campaign and showed exclusive footage of the race’s most shocking moments.

After the host called this year’s contest “the most bizarre, compelling, interesting and consequential election in U.S. history,” Carlson revealed that his “personal favorite moment” came during the debate between Trump and President Joe Biden on June 27.

Carlson pointed to behind-the-scenes footage from his documentary and mentioned that he particularly enjoyed watching the live reactions of those who accompanied Trump at the debate and who stood stunned backstage when Biden claimed that his administration had ” “Medicare beaten.”

“And these are people who make a living in politics, who know Biden personally, who kind of have in their head what they think is going to happen,” Carlson said. “What actually happens is so shocking to them – it’s really not scripted – you just can’t do it – they sit there with their mouths open. You can’t believe this guy is melting like he is.”

The debate, in which the incumbent president repeatedly stumbled over words and failed to articulate himself, led to a flood of age-related attacks against the octogenarian. The resulting pressure from members of his own party is said to have led to Biden’s eventual withdrawal on July 21.

Kelly said: “We all had the same reaction at home, but seeing Team Trump and others backstage like we did is something completely different.”

“If you saw that live, which almost everyone did, you would think, ‘Is that just me, or was that the most profound failure ever captured on film,'” Carlson added. “And then you look at people who do this for a living — Lindsey Graham, Tim Scott, JD Vance, Lara Trump — and Ben Carson stops in the middle of watching.”

Both Carlson and Kelly also cited Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s endorsement of Trump and the assassination attempts against Trump on July 13 and September 15 as events that no one expected would occur in a normal presidential election.
