Lara Trump Names Megyn Kelly Most Influential MAGA Figure

Lara Trump, daughter-in-law of former President Donald Trump and former RNC co-chair, wrote a glowing tribute to Megyn Kelly for Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2025 list, highlighting Kelly’s fearless journalism and her role in redefining media during the MAGA era. Trump praised Kelly’s sharp intellect and commitment to honest discourse, stating that she has inspired new generations of journalists and made an undeniable impact on the media landscape. The tribute also mentioned Kelly’s new media venture, a podcast network set to launch this spring. Once a prominent Fox News anchor who clashed publicly with Donald Trump in 2016, Kelly has since become a supporter of Trump and is now recognized as a leading MAGA media figure. Other notable MAGA and public figures, including Trump himself, JD Vance, Elon Musk, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., were also featured on the influential list. Kelly’s evolution from a tough Trump interviewer to an outspoken supporter underscores her shifting role in the political media landscape.
