<\/p>\nBroadcaster and former Fox News anchor Carlson has been a vocal supporter of Donald Trump\u2019s policies and is an influential figure on the US right.<\/p>\n
He held a Christmas party in Nashville, Tennessee last weekend, with a number of well-known figures in attendance.<\/p>\n
Mr Sheridan was pictured alongside a number of celebrities, including rapper Jelly Roll and stand-up comedian Theo Von. He also took pictures with Carlson, and conservative campaigner and conspiracy theorist Candace Owens.<\/p>\n

In a post on his TikTok account, Mr Sheridan also shared pictures he had taken with professional MMA fighter Colby Covington and viral financial advice broadcaster Dave Ramsey.<\/p>\n
The founder and CEO of pharmaceutical company Nutriband Inc, in August Mr Sheridan announced his intention to contest the presidential election.<\/p>\n
He secured nominations from both Kerry and Tipperary County Councils, however he fell short of the four councils required to be on the ballot.<\/p>\n
Mr Sheridan\u2019s campaign was suspended on September 22. The 35-year-old ran on a platform largely focused on the housing crisis, saying he would work to ensure young, working people could afford to buy a home in Ireland.<\/p>\n
Following the unsuccessful campaign, he returned to his work as chief executive of Nutriband.<\/p>\n
Originally from Terenure in Dublin, he was a student of business and management at Dublin Institute of Technology until his graduation in 2012.<\/p>\n
He founded Nutriband, which is working to develop transdermal patches to deliver medication through the skin, while he was still a student in 2011.<\/p>\n
Carlson was a long-time fixture on the right-wing Fox News but his show was cancelled after e-voting company Dominion sued Fox claiming defamation over statements it broadcast claiming its machines had been rigged to steal the 2020 election from Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
It led to Fox paying the biggest defamation settlement in history, at $787m (\u20ac676.2m), but it did not have to apologise.<\/p>\n
Carlson resumed broadcasting on his own social media channels and podcast and has solidified his conservative, anti-immigration, pro-MAGA profile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Broadcaster and former Fox News anchor Carlson has been a vocal supporter of Donald Trump\u2019s policies and is…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":183231,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[15763,969,2113,61,60,43,978,6116],"class_list":{"0":"post-183230","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ireland","8":"tag-darragh-nolan","9":"tag-donald-trump","10":"tag-gareth-sheridan","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-presidential-election","15":"tag-tiktok"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183230","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=183230"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183230\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/183231"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=183230"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=183230"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=183230"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
