In the only newsworthy counterprogramming of the first GOP presidential debate Wednesday night, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson interviewed former President Donald Trump on his show "Tucker on X." While the sitdown lasted over 46 minutes, there were a few wild moments that are sure to grab headlines. 

As the first Republican presidential debate looms, New York Times campaign reporter Nicholas Nehemas spread anti-DeSantis doomsaying in “For DeSantis, Release of Debate Strategy Amplifies a Daunting Challenge": "Mr. DeSantis’s most prominent debates -- in his contests for governor against Charlie Crist, a former Republican governor of Florida turned Democratic member of Congress, and…

MSNBC’s Jose Diaz-Balart welcomed correspondent and podcaster Trymaine Lee to his Wednesday program to preview the GOP debate by focusing on the word “woke,” and how according to one of Lee’s guests, Republicans have turned it into “another way of saying black” or “the N-word.”
