Megyn Kelly bluntly stated, "The problem of her speaking continues. I guess she hasn't quite gotten the message that she's not good at this, and we know it."

"Her voters know it because her numbers are going down with independents who previously had shown an open mind toward her. So what does she do? More talking," expressed Kelly.
She didn’t stop there, labeling Harris' messaging as repetitive and shallow. According to the former Fox News host, the Democratic nominee is offering rhetoric, not real solutions.
