Conservative commentator Megyn Kelly recently took the stage at a Donald Trump rally in Pittsburgh, publicly endorsing the former president and sharing her reasons for voting for him. With the election drawing closer, her endorsement has sparked discussions about the role of women’s protection, border security, and gender in sports within his campaign.
So, what did Kelly say, and why is it making waves? Let’s dive into her remarks and their wider significance.
Megyn Kelly endorses Donald Trump
Conservative commentator and SiriusXM host Megyn Kelly publicly endorsed Donald Trump during a campaign event in Pittsburgh.
On stage, Kelly praised Trump for his stance on women’s protection, border security, and opposition to transgender athletes in women’s sports. She declared, “He will be a protector of women, and it’s why I’m voting for him” (via AP News).
Trump, who watched with a grin, previously had a contentious relationship with Kelly dating back to the 2016 presidential campaign. During a Republican primary debate moderated by Kelly, Trump criticized her questions, leading to a series of negative comments, including one remark interpreted by many as sexist. This feud persisted publicly for some time, with Trump eventually boycotting a Fox News debate she was moderating. Last year, however, Kelly expressed that their past issues were “under the bridge.”
Kelly’s endorsement and campaign appearance underscore her recent shift toward Trump, despite their past conflicts. She shared a selfie with Trump on X (formerly Twitter), captioning it partially with “God bless him. Go vote for him!” She continues to support Trump’s policies, particularly those concerning conservative social issues that resonate with her audience.
This endorsement comes at a crucial moment, as early voting shows a gender divide, with more women favoring Kamala Harris. Kelly’s support for Trump adds to the growing unity among conservative figures behind his campaign. Together, they aim to attract voters who feel overlooked by political and cultural elites.
