LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kimberly Guilfoyle could end up dumping fiance, Donald Trump Jr, over his alleged affair if his father, Donald Trump, loses in the November election, claims political expert Tara Palmeri.

During a conversation with Meghan McCain for her 'Somebody’s Gotta Win' podcast, the Puck reporter said, "If Trump wins, she stays with Don Jr. If Trump loses, watch Kimberly chart her own path," as per GazetteXtra.

Meghan McCain says Kimberly Guilfoyle's political abilities shouldn't be 'underestimated'

Meghan McCain talked about the future of Kimberly Guilfoyle and Donald Trump Jr's relationship after agreeing with Tara Palmeri that the Daily Mail report about his alleged "dalliance" with Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson was pretty "damning."

The outlet published photos of Don Jr enjoying an intimate brunch with Anderson on August 17. Eyewitnesses claim the two were seen "kissing" and "canoodling" in a booth at the swanky Palm Beach restaurant.

In the September report, DailyMail mentioned that their romance is an "open secret" in elite Republican circles in and around the Florida community.

Keeping aside the "salaciousness" of the apparent affair, McCain noted that Guilfoyle is a major "surrogate" for Trump and has given fiery speeches on behalf of his MAGA beliefs, including the one at the 2020 Republican National Convention.

"I would never underestimate her political abilities," remarked the 39-year-old who used to work with Guilfoyle at Fox News. She also called Guilfoyle a "big fundraiser" for the Trump campaign. 

Tara Palmeri thinks Kimberly Guilfoyle doesn't want to risk losing the career she has built

Tara Palmeri added that Kimberly Guilfoyle is "very smart" and "strategic ultimately," which might be the reason why she hasn’t said anything publicly in response to the Daily Mail report or the Palm Beach rumor mill.

Palmeri further pointed out how the 55-year-old became "closely identified with the Trump brand" since she started dating Don Jr in 2018. The former president once dubbed her MAGA’s "Eva Peron" as she got engaged to his son, campaigned for him, and became a trusted member of his inner circle.

The Puck reporter said, "She’s gotten speaking engagements out of it. She’s elevated her profile, some would say even beyond Fox News since she’s become part of the Trump family. I don’t see her abandoning that any time soon."

She continued, "I think she ignores [the alleged affair], or works on it with Donald Trump Jr. Basically her career is closely tied to Donald Trump Jr. I don’t think she’d let an emotional reaction get in the way of her next move. For now, I think Kimberly Guilfoyle will swallow her pride, put a big smile on."

"If Trump loses … and this is all over, I can see her pivoting," expressed Palmeri.
