Megyn Kelly has a surprising prediction for Trump’s vice president pick — and she doesn’t think MAGA voters or Tucker Carlson will be happy about it.
“Is it out of the realm of possibility that he chooses Haley? Absolutely not. It’s not. I realize that MAGA doesn’t want it. They’ve convinced themselves that Nikki Haley is against all the things that they stand for,” Kelly tells Dave Rubin.
However, Trump has to do what he has to do in order to win, and Haley might be the winning ticket.
“He personally really must win if he doesn’t want to go to jail,” Kelly explains. “If that’s your situation, I think you might be thinking, ‘MAGA is gonna get over Nikki Haley if I tell them to get over Nikki Haley.’”
“I know for a fact that’s how Trump thinks,” she adds.
Kelly knows that Trump needs the moderates and independents if he’s going to win, and Haley would bring that voting base with her.
“I could not agree more,” Rubin agrees, adding, “When I see all these people that are suddenly like, ‘No, he’ll never do it,’ and/or, ‘I won’t vote for him if he chooses Nikki,’ it’s like, you’ll do what Trump kind of tells you to do, actually.”
Tucker Carlson is not a fan of Nikki Haley either and has recently discussed the increasing turn out of Democrats to the Republican voting booths. Biden has turned away those voters, and they’re now showing interest in Haley as a potential future president.
Rubin speculates that if Trump chose Haley as vice president, Tucker might “actively campaign against him.”
Kelly disagrees.
“I think he’s going to come home to Trump. I think he’s going to do it under protest,” she says.
