Megyn Kelly has always liked former President Donald Trump’s chances of returning to office come November.
But perhaps she’s even more convinced now that President Joe Biden is out of the running and Vice President Kamala Harris is likely in as the Democratic Party nominee.
Kelly acknowledged that it is “effed up” that a woman has yet to be 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,” she said during a special Sunday episode of The Megyn Kelly Show.
And while she would “love to see a female president, like a Margaret Thatcher-type” who is “strong, serious, sober and respected,” Harris is not that person.
“This ain’t it,” Kelly said.
“I am telling you, America is not going to elect this nimrod as its first female president,” she continued. “I trust in them too much for that.”
Kelly insisted that voters are “not that dumb” and “not that open to a female president to where they’d be like, ‘anybody will do. Anybody. Anybody.’”
“My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President,” Biden wrote in a social media post.
“And it’s been the best decision I’ve made,” he continued.

“Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year,” Biden added. “Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.”
His statement prompted others to join the chorus of support for Harris including Bill and Hillary Clinton, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
One notable Democrat, former President Barack Obama, spoke highly of Biden in his own lengthy statement but did not make an endorsement.
“We will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead,” he wrote. “But I have extraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges.”
