Former Fox and NBC News host Megyn Kelly announced Monday morning that she will deliver remarks at a Trump rally in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania tonight, and make the closing argument for Donald Trump.
Kelly, who famously got on Trump’s bad side while hosting a Fox News debate during the 2016 campaign, said she received an unexpected invitation from Team Trump over the weekend asking her to appear at the rally and deliver remarks explaining why she’s voting for him.
Kelly had been clear on her YouTube show for months that she was planning to vote for the former president.
“So tonight after the show, I’ll be headed to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where I’ll appear with Trump at his last Penn. rally before the vote and I will proudly explain to that audience and beyond why I think it’s absolutely essential that he win this election and that we not put Kamala Harris into the Oval Office as our president,” she said.
Kelly added that she will be giving “all sorts of reasons” for why she feels this way, and that none of it would surprise regular listeners of her show.
While co-moderating the Fox News Republican Party presidential debate on August 6, 2015, Kelly attracted the ire of Trump and many of his supporters when she asked him whether a man of his temperament should be elected president, noting that he has called various women insulting names in the past. Trump famously responded, “Only Rosie!” as the audience erupted in laughter and applause.
Kelly was later subjected to withering criticism from Trump and his supporters, but she refused to apologize for “doing good journalism.”
In April 2016, Kelly met with Trump at Trump Tower to have “a chance to clear the air” and the following month, she interviewed him for her show. However, the bad blood between Trump and Kelly reportedly persisted for years. In July 2023, Kelly revealed that she and Trump were back on good terms.
“You know, all that nonsense between us is under the bridge, and he could not have been more magnanimous,” she said after meeting with the former president at a Turning Point USA (TPUSA) conference in Florida.
Trump was scheduled to hold four rallies on Monday.
The first at 10:00 a.m. ET in in Raleigh, North Carolina; the second at 2 p.m. ET in Reading, Pennsylvania; the third at 6:00 p.m. ET in Pittsburgh, and the final rally at 10:30 p.m. ET in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
