Donald Trump's 2024 team feared that Tucker Carlson would start backing Ron DeSantis, NYT reported.
But Carlson recently has been speaking often with Trump, putting the latter's team at ease.
Carlson was ousted from Fox News on Monday in a surprise announcement from the network.

Former President Donald Trump's aides were worried last year that Tucker Carlson — who was recently ousted from Fox News — might declare support for Gov. Ron DeSantis in the 2024 GOP presidential race.
