Former President Donald Trump's prospects of reclaiming the Oval Office this November are looking promising, according to Megyn Kelly, who expressed her skepticism about Vice President Kamala Harris's potential to win over the electorate.
This comes in the aftermath of President Joe Biden's announcement that he will not be seeking re-election, positioning Harris as the probable Democratic Party nominee.
As reported by The New York Post, Kelly, during a special Sunday broadcast of her SiriusXM show "The Megyn Kelly Show," voiced her doubts about America's readiness to elect Harris as the nation's first female president. "I am telling you, America is not going to elect this nimrod as its first female president. I trust in them too much for that," Kelly stated. She further argued that voters are "not that dumb" and "theyre not that open to a female president to where theyd be like, anybody will do."
Kelly, a former prime time host at Fox News, expressed her disappointment about the absence of a female president in the country's history, especially as a mother to a daughter. "I hate the fact that when you take out your little placemat when your kids are learning the presidents, theres no female face on there, then you have to explain why," she lamented. However, she clarified that her ideal female president would be akin to a "Margaret Thatcher type" who is "strong, serious, sober, and respected."
In her critique of Harris, Kelly stated, "This aint it." The vice president's office has been contacted for a response by The Post.
Following Biden's decision to step down, Harris quickly received endorsements from him and other influential figures within the Democratic Party. If she were to win, she would make history as the first female president of the United States. However, current polls suggest that in a direct contest with the GOP nominee, Trump, she would likely be defeated.
Trump's popularity surged in the polls following Biden's lackluster performance during last month's debate in Atlanta, where he exhibited signs of significant cognitive decline. Biden swiftly endorsed Harris as his successor, urging his party to rally behind her, thereby making her the immediate favorite for the nomination at the Democratic Party's August convention in Chicago.
In response, Harris commended Biden's "selfless and patriotic act" and expressed her intention to "earn and win" her party's nomination.
