There is no way to tell exactly who Tucker Carlson voted for when you consider ballots are completed private. However, if you begin telling people you voted for someone, they’re going to take your word for it. Such is the case with Carlson, who has reportedly told his associates that he voted for Kanye West in the 2020 presidential election.
According to Politico, Carlson began telling people this not long after the election, though it’s taken some time for it to come to light publicly. West threw his hat in the election rodeo at a rather interesting time, and some criticized the rapper for diverting votes candidates that could have win over Donald Trump. The BBC reports that West only ended up on official ballots in 12 states due to his late emergence in the election cycle, but that didn’t stop Carlson from reportedly voting for him. Politico reports that Carlson told at least one associate of his connection to West before the election. “He and Kanye get along,” shared the insider. “They both regularly find themselves in the crosshairs. They’re both pro-life.”
It’s unclear if Carlson voted for West because of the rapper’s political views or if he was simply upset with Trump. Only time will tell if Carlson reveals his reasoning in the future.

After Trump had a bad showing in a presidential debate against now-President Joe Biden, Carlson reportedly didn’t answer Trump’s phone call and sent him to voicemail when Trump called him afterward. He knew the debate was very bad even though the then-president thought he performed well. “I don’t know who told you that was good. It was not good,” Carlson reportedly said later, per Smith’s profile (via the Daily Mail).
Could this display have affected who Carlson ultimately voted for in the 2020 presidential election?
