Tuesday’s election night has been widely characterized as a rebuke of President Donald Trump’s administration, which doesn’t sit well with Megyn Kelly. The former Fox News host devoted most of Wednesday’s episode of her SiriusXM radio show to tearing into the GOP for its numerous defeats in elections across the country, calling the results a “total and complete disaster.” “How are you feeling this morning ― like shit? Yeah, I can relate,” she said. “The Republican party needs to get its shit together ASAP ... The Republicans like to lose. They enjoy losing. They enjoy when they are embattled and in a losing position and complaining ― they love it. They do it really well.” She went on to note: “Donald Trump is strong. Republicans don’t know how to win. They don’t know who to run, they don’t know what to do when Daddy’s not there to fly them across the finish line.” Watch a clip of Wednesday’s episode of Megyn Kelly’s radio show below. The 2025 elections marked the first electoral test of Trump’s second term, and by all accounts, the outlook was not good. The Democrats won governorships in New Jersey and Virginia, added seats to Virginia’s House of Delegates and successfully passed Proposition 50 in California, a direct response to the president’s efforts to gerrymander more Republican House seats.The results have prompted many prominent Republicans, including Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, to warn of further GOP losses in next year’s midterm elections. Kelly, meanwhile, said Republicans might find a silver lining in Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the New York mayoral election. The self-described democratic socialist defeated former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat who ran as an independent and had been endorsed by Trump, and Republican Curtis Sliwa. Mamdani, she said, “will now be the poster child for every Republican to use against his opponent.”“They’ll all have to explain where they stand on Mamdani as he wrecks New York,” she added. Exit polls have shown that many Americans viewed their vote as a message of opposition to Trump’s administration. True to form, the president himself has shrugged off any responsibility for his party’s poor showing. “If you read the pollsters, the shutdown was a big factor, negative for the Republicans and that was a big factor,” he told Republican senators at a White House breakfast on Wednesday. “And they say that I wasn’t on the ballot was the biggest factor, but I don’t know about that. But I was honored that they said that.”Close
