Megyn Kelly says she supports Trump because he will be a 'protector of women'
Megyn Kelly took the stage at former President Donald Trump's rally in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Monday.
The conservative media personality explained why she's backing Trump in the 2024 presidential election, saying, "He will be a protector of women, and it's why I'm voting for him."
Kelly then suggested that she supports Trump because he takes care of the common man.
"He will look out for our boys to our forgotten boys and our forgotten men. Guys like you, who maybe have a beer after work and don't want to be judged by people like Oprah and Beyonce, who will never have to face the consequences of her disastrous economic policies," Kelly said, seemingly referencing Vice President Kamala Harris.

Harris' senior adviser says she could win all 7 swing states
David Plouffe, a senior adviser to Vice President Kamala Harris, told CNN’s Erin Burnett on Monday night that the campaign believes it could win all seven swing states.
“It’s very important that we have multiple pathways to 270, and you know, just a couple hours ago, reviewing all the early vote data, what we're projecting for Election Day, how we think undecideds are breaking, we have a credible pathway to all seven states tomorrow night to go into Kamala Harris' column," Plouffe said.
"But we believe they're all going to be close,” he added.
Asked if he believes Harris could win all seven states, he said, “Yes.”
Plouffe said that the campaign believes it is winning more late-breaking voters than former President Donald Trump is, and he credits the campaigns’ different approaches to their field operations.
“I think outsourcing your field effort -- meaning the folks knocking on doors, making calls – largely to exclusively paid canvassers, historically just doesn’t work,” he said. “You want people showing up who are committed to your candidate."
He called that a "secret weapon for us" and said that volunteers were "knocking on 2,000 doors a minute in Pennsylvania over the weekend."
But, he acknowledged, both campaigns “have a lot riding on tomorrow, on actual Election Day.”

The vice president joked, "I’m very hungry. I don’t get a chance to eat as often as I’d like."
Later, Harris and Ocasio-Cortez huddled with the restaurant owner to discuss the rapid growth of Latino-owned small businesses.
