HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT: Megyn Kelly, the former Fox News anchor known for her public feuds with Donald Trump, has ignited a firestorm of controversy by admitting that she voted for the former president in the 2020 election.

In a candid revelation on her podcast 'The Megyn Kelly Show,' the outspoken journalist confessed that her concerns over cultural issues, particularly regarding the education of her children, ultimately swayed her to cast her ballot for Trump despite their well-documented clashes, as reported by OK!

"I had a long contentious relationship with Donald Trump, you may be aware. And going into 2020, I didn't know whether I could pull the lever for him. I really didn't," Kelly explained, acknowledging the history between her and Trump.

Kelly eventually confessed that she initially shared her voting decision with her breast oncology doctor, citing concerns over the direction of the country and the impact of "trans ideology nonsense" being taught in schools.

"I told her, I voted for Donald Trump," Kelly disclosed, adding that she had previously refrained from publicly revealing her political choices as a journalist. "It was about my concern for this country, and my children and what was happening in particular in this culture lane, but in other lanes as well."

Kelly revealed that she was almost in tears when confiding in her doctor, who was aware of the challenges Kelly had faced due to Trump's actions. However, she also recounted feeling a sense of relief afterward.

"I felt so much better after she told her," Kelly shared. "It's not that I needed her approval, we're not even that close. It's not like we ever had dinner together, she was just this person who I talked to for all those years."
