Megyn Kelly makes her bold election prediction and reveals the ‘October Surprise’ bombshell that’s still yet to drop

Just five days before the 2024 elections, journalist Megyn Kelly thinks the biggest blows of this campaign are yet to come.

“I don’t think we’ve gotten the October surprise yet,” says Kelly, host of The Megyn Kelly Show podcasttold DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview on the eve of the vote.

“I bet someone will still make something big happen to us,” she predicted, pointing to an “increasingly desperate” Harris campaign, which Trump has now begun to compare to some of history’s most notorious lunatics.

‘They’re calling Trump a Nazi [and Joseph] Goebbels. They call him a fascist, Mao, Stalin,” Kelly said. ‘What would you do if you thought Hitler was about to be elected? To be honest, it’s quite dangerous.’

Kelly, 53, has long been at the center of American politics, first as a reporter for Fox News Channel and then as host of the network’s top-rated primetime show “The Kelly File.”

After a brief stint at NBC News, Kelly launched her podcast — now one of the most popular in the country — putting her in the thick of it again. And that experience makes her suspect that this wild ride of 2024 is far from over.

“It’s probably going to be uglier, crazier and weirder,” she said. “We’re probably going to have a few more women come out and accuse Donald Trump of things because the Democrats love that old chestnut.”

Kelly famously confronted then-candidate Trump in 2015 about his treatment of women during a Fox News-hosted Republican primary debate. After the event, Trump lashed out at Kelly in a bizarre tirade. But now the veteran journalist has made it clear that she has moved on, even recently telling listeners that she voted early for the former president.

However, despite her hopes for a second Trump term, Kelly admitted to the Mail that she has no idea how this election will turn out.

‘I’ve read everything and everyone. I’m desperate to know. “I can’t wait to know, but we can’t know,” she said.

First, Kelly is reluctant to put her faith in public opinion polls.

“Are the Polls Still Wrong on Donald Trump?” she asked. “Are they still undervaluing Trump voters?”

‘Everyone thought Hillary Clinton would win. The prediction there was 93 percent, 98 percent.”

In 2024, Kelly says there’s reason to suspect the pollsters will finally get it right.

“Are they still undervaluing Trump voters?” she mused. “There are a lot of reasons to believe that this is not the case, that they have actually resolved it.”

Many of the Americans who turned out for Trump in 2016 had not voted in previous elections, so they were overlooked by pollsters seeking the opinions of individuals most likely to go to the polls.

Kelly suggests there may now be no such thing as a ‘hidden’ Trump supporter: ‘Trump got them to register [to vote] and he let them vote. They’re all baked into the pie now, so the undervalued Trump vote is no longer a thing. This is a theory.’

Polls aside, Kelly sees Tuesday night playing out in two possible ways: either America will know the winner pretty quickly, or Election Day will turn into Election Day.

“It’s going to be a long week when it gets to Pennsylvania,” Kelly predicted.

There is a scenario in which Trump and Harris split the nation’s electoral college votes and it all comes down to the Keystone State.

Pennsylvania state law prohibits local election officials from counting ballots until 7 a.m. on Election Day, while other states allow these votes to be tabulated in advance, speeding up the final count.

On the other hand, Megyn can also provide a route to a quick phone call on November 5.

“I think there’s a good chance we’ll know on election night,” she said.

If Trump takes on the Sun Belt states (Nevada and Arizona in the West, and North Carolina and Georgia in the East) as well as Michigan and Wisconsin, Kelly believes a solution could come quickly.

It’s a perfectly plausible scenario, according to Kelly, who cited polls showing Trump with a lead in Georgia — and reports that the Harrises hastily pulled their campaign ads from North Carolina this week.

Moreover, she claims, Trump has the wind at his back.

“If you look at the momentum, at least as of now, it has been behind Trump for the last 10 days… if you were Trump, you would want the election to happen tomorrow.”

And President Biden’s comments Wednesday night in which he called Republican voters “garbage” were another windfall for Trump’s campaign.

Kelly thinks Trump’s response to Biden’s gaffe — showing up at a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin wearing a reflective vest and sitting in the passenger seat of the garbage truck adorned with a Trump-Vance banner — was highly impactful.

‘With these images he transforms himself from a unique candidate into an American icon. Great entertainment, even better politics.”

But now, in these final days of this race, Kelly has a word of caution for Trump.

‘No more with the surrogates, no comics, no bombastic donors. It’s not worth it,” she said, in an apparent reference to the controversial speakers at the Trump rally at Madison Square Garden last Sunday.

As for Democrats, Kelly doesn’t have much help to offer.

Even Harris’ most effective surrogates, Barack and Michelle Obama, have “lost their fastball,” she said — dismissing the Obamas’ recent jab at black men, who may be abandoning the Democratic Party in historic numbers.

“The country has become anti-man,” Kelly said. ‘The messaging around men has been absolutely disrespectful and inhumane for a long time, and who does that? The Democratic Party.”

“I don’t think anyone is going to vote for Kamala because they were shamed by Barack for their alleged secret sexism or racism against her, or because they were shamed by Michelle for not standing up for your wife’s rights.”

On election night, Megyn will host a live panel of experts, including the Mail’s Maureen Callahan and prominent conservative pundits like The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro.
