Right-wing figure Tucker Carlson began his live tour in Arizona focusing on faith rather than politics, with British comedian Russell Brand joining him on stage to deliver a Bible sermon. The duo touched on their Christian identity and only briefly mentioned the presidential race. Carlson’s event was well-received by attendees who shared concerns about the “deep state” and lack of truth in media.
Despite his recent departure from Fox News, Carlson’s reach remains strong, with his podcast ranking highly on Spotify. While there are still tickets available for his tour, VIP packages with meet-and-greet options featuring guests like Alex Jones and Donald Trump Jr. are sold out.
Arizona, a crucial battleground state, has been seeing multiple Republican appearances in the lead-up to the November election. Both candidates are focused on gaining an advantage in the state, with Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump making recent visits. Notably, Jimmy McCain, son of the late Senator John McCain, has registered as a Democrat and plans to vote for Harris after an incident involving Trump’s campaign staff at Arlington National Cemetery played a role in his decision.
The political atmosphere in Arizona remains intense as the election approaches, with both sides making efforts to secure the state. Carlson’s event was just the beginning of a series of Republican appearances in the state, indicating the significance of Arizona in the upcoming election.
