Megyn Kelly Warns That Kamala Harris’s Message Is ‘Getting Through’ Amid Polling Surge: ‘It’s Working!’
Conservative radio host Megyn Kelly warned that efforts of Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’s campaign were “working” on her show Wednesday.
In a discussion about Republican nominee Donald Trump’s decision to turn down an interview request from 60 Minutes, Kelly intially argued that Trump was making the right call. But she eventually changed her tune with some convincing from her guests from The Fifth Column podcast.
After one of those guests, Kmele Foster, finished up making his case for accepting the invitation by noting that the media would spin his decision not to.
“You may be right. And she’s [Harris] gonna do it,” replied Kelly. “So now she’s got control of the show and he’s [Trump] not in there. And here’s, I, like, this is not an encouraging report. It shows it’s very tight. And you can make the argument that when it’s tight, that’s a Trump lead, right? We’ve heard that, at least at the national level. The experts are saying that doesn’t necessarily apply at the swing state level, but on the national popular vote, a tie goes to Trump.”
“But listen to some of these numbers,” she said, referring to a string of Cook Political Report surveys and summary of them. “But listen to some of these numbers. They report: ‘Trump continues to lead on the economy but his advantage on inflation has disappeared. He did have a six-point lead in August over her, 48-42, now it’s evenly divided, 47-47, on who they trust more to handle the issue that 60% of swing state voters say is the aspect of the economy that concerns them the most.'”
“They care most about inflation and they’re evenly split now on that issue,” she continued. “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. And they go on to talk about how even Trump’s best issue, immigration, he’s still winning on it, he has his largest lead over her there, 51-42. But that’s a five-point drop from where he was over Harris in August.”
“And guys, what this tells me is that her inanity over, ‘I’m gonna issue price controls. And I’m gonna give all first-time homebuyers $25,000, and trust me that’s not gonna drive up the price of homes for people who aren’t first-time homebuyers who aren’t, who are competing against those same people in the market’ is working. It’s working!” concluded Kelly. “She’s somehow getting through on it.”
