Is Megyn Kelly left or right?
Kelly is an independent conservative media figure who hosts The Megyn Kelly Show daily on SiriusXM and YouTube through her own company, and by early 2025 hers was one of the top three right-wing podcasts by subscribers. Her trajectory is a full circle: as a Fox News anchor she had a famous 2016 clash with Trump, moved to NBC in 2017, was pushed out in 2018, and then rebuilt independently — culminating in her endorsing Trump at a Pittsburgh rally on November 4, 2024, citing his positions on border security and transgender athletes in women's sports, while insisting she remains a journalist. In March 2026 she split with the administration over the Iran war, drawing a public rebuke from Trump, who lumped her with Tucker Carlson and declared 'MAGA is Trump.' By mid-2026 she was describing the MAGA movement as shrunken to a small core of die-hard loyalists — placing her on the right but as an independent, frequently Trump-critical voice rather than a movement loyalist.
