Megyn Kelly likes former President Donald Trump’s chances of returning to office this November, saying that Vice President Kamala Harris is a “nimrod” who will be rejected by voters as she emerged as the likely Democratic Party nominee in the wake of President Joe Biden’s decision not to seek re-election.
“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 said during a special Sunday broadcast of her SiriusXM show “The Megyn Kelly Show.”
Kelly said that voters are “not that dumb” and “they’re not that open to a female president to where they’d be like, anybody will do.”
The former Fox News prime time host said that as the mother of a daughter, she thought it was “effed up” that there has yet to be a woman elected president of the United States.
“I hate the fact that when you take out your little placemat when your kids are learning the presidents, there’s no female face on there, then you have to explain why,” Kelly said.
She added that she “would love to see a female president like a Margaret Thatcher type” who is “strong, serious, sober, and respected.”
“This ain’t it,” Kelly said of Harris. The Post has sought comment from the vice president.
The latest on President Biden’s decision to drop out of the 2024 presidential race:
Harris won the endorsement of Biden as well as other Democratic Party power brokers soon after the president announced on Sunday that he would not seek another four-year term in the White House.
If elected, she would be the first woman president in US history. But polls indicate that in a head-to-head matchup with the GOP nominee, Trump, she would lose.
Trump was trouncing Biden in the polls in the wake of the president’s disastrous performance during last month’s debate in Atlanta, where he appeared to show signs of severe cognitive decline.
Biden quickly endorsed Harris to take on Trump and encouraged his party to unite behind her, making her the party’s instant favorite for the nomination at its August convention in Chicago.
Harris, in a statement, praised Biden’s “selfless and patriotic act” and said she intends to “earn and win” her party’s nomination.
