The Republican Party didn't exist yet. Tyler was a long-time Democrat-Republican, but was nonetheless elected Vice President on the Whig ticket. During his period in office, he attempted to start a new party and for a brief time was officially not a member of any party.

His big dispute occurred when he vetoed a bill to re-establish the bank of the United States. Restoring the bank was a long-term Whig goal and they were positively shocked when he vetoed it. The veto infuriated Whig leaders, all but one of his cabinet members resigned and Tyler was ejected from the party.

John Tyler was the Whig Party Vice Presidential Nominee in the election of 1840, but less than six months after he took over the Presidency following the death of William Henry Harrison, the Whig Party kicked him out based on the choices he was making as President.

He spent the rest of his Presidency as an independent, and no party would nominate him in 1844.
