Megyn Kelly says Harris message ‘working’: ‘She’s somehow getting through’

Pundit Megyn Kelly said she thinks Vice President Harris is promoting a message that is resonating with voters, particularly on the economy, and could spell defeat for former President Trump in next month’s presidential election.

“They care most about inflation, and they’re evenly split now on that issue,” Kelly said during a recent episode of her podcast. “They say there’s a few explanations for it — the first is that Harris’s message on the economy has broken through.”

“Another is that Trump’s attempt to link her to Bidenomics, I mentioned this earlier, has not been as effective as Republicans had hoped,” she added.

Trump’s best issue against Harris, Kelly noted, is immigration saying “he has his largest lead over her there, 51-42. But that’s a 5-point drop from where he was over Harris in August.”

Kelly’s comments were first highlighted by Mediaite.

“It’s working. She’s somehow getting through,” Kelly said, suggesting Trump should participate in the planned appearance on CBS’s “60 Minutes” — which was later scrapped by the GOP nominee’s campaign — in order to counter Harris’s messaging.

A former Fox News anchor who has clashed with Trump in the past, Kelly is sharply critical of Democrats and media outlets on a regular basis.

She recently attacked ABC’s David Muir and Linsey Davis, who moderated the debate last month between Harris and the former president, and has warned that Trump’s “rambling” on the campaign trail could cost him.
