Megyn Kelly has positioned herself clearly within the conservative movement, endorsing President Donald Trump in the 2024 election and aligning with conservative values particularly on cultural and political issues. She has publicly shown support for Trump's policies on women's rights, border security, immigration, and transgender issues, which influenced her conservative shift. Kelly has also defended Trump against accusations that his rhetoric incited political violence, notably in a debate with a Virginia Tech student where she called claims of Trump heightening tensions a "blatant lie." She actively participates in conservative circles and media, hosting popular right-wing podcasts and engaging in political discourse from a conservative standpoint. This indicates she knows which way the political winds are blowing within her audience and the broader conservative base.
