Tucker Carlson’s son exits JD Vance’s press team amid escalating feud between dad, Trump

Amidst escalating tensions between right-wing pundit Tucker Carlson and President Trump, Buckley Carlson, the son of Tucker Carlson, has decided to leave Vice President JD Vance’s press team to start his own political consulting firm. Buckley, who had been serving as Vance’s deputy press secretary since the beginning of the second Trump administration, is joining a group of White House alumni transitioning to the private sector.

While it is not uncommon for individuals to leave presidential administrations for other opportunities, Buckley’s departure comes at a time when the relationship between his father Tucker and President Trump is strained. Trump recently launched a scathing attack on Tucker, questioning his intelligence and mental health in a series of social media posts.

Trump’s public criticisms of Tucker have been met with responses from Tucker, who has been vocal in his opposition to the Trump administration’s policies. Tucker has been critical of the president’s approach to the war in Iran, blaming Trump’s allies for the decisions that have been made.

Despite the ongoing feud between Tucker and Trump, Buckley Carlson has decided to move on from his role in the Trump administration. Buckley had been working for Vice President JD Vance and had previously served as deputy chief of staff for then-Rep. Jim Banks.

News of Buckley’s departure from the Trump administration was first reported by Politico, which mentioned that he had initially planned to leave the vice president’s office last year but stayed on for a few months to assist with the transition process.

As Buckley Carlson embarks on his new journey in the political consulting field, the rift between his father Tucker and President Trump continues to deepen. It remains to be seen how these developments will impact the political landscape in the coming months.
