Megyn Kelly said that former President Donald Trump “needs to win this election” — because it’s no longer about him, “it’s about us” — following the assassination attempt on his life on Saturday at a Butler, Pennsylvania, rally.
During the special coverage of “The Megyn Kelly Show” podcast, the host said that she believes Trump will win in November, because “I am now one of the people who will walk over broken glass to make sure I cast my vote. And I know it won’t be alone.”
“I think now you are going to see formerly blue states rush to pull the lever for Donald Trump,” Kelly said. “I thought it was bad before tonight, and I think my fellow Americans will understand how important it is to send a message loud and clear to the people who want to change our country that we won’t allow it; that we are not going to lose sight of one another; that we are not going to continue trying to ruin each other, end each other.”
“And after Mr. Trump was removed in ‘The Beast’ and two of his most ardent fans were shot dead or within an inch of their life, the American flag still waved,” she added. “The remnants at the site scattered the ground. And yet much like 9/11, after it was all over, the American flag still waved over the now empty area.”

“That is what it is all about. Our flag was still there. We are still with each other…Our patriotism must be reignited and, yes, our understanding that there is humanity on both sides,” Kelly continued. “The hard partisan loons who have been behind the rhetoric we have discussed tonight do not represent either side.”
Kelly concluded her coverage by explaining why “President Trump needs to win this election. Period.”
“It’s not about him anymore. It’s about us,” the host said. “So, I hope you’ll vote, I hope you’ll vote Republican, and I hope you’ll say a prayer for President Trump and his family and, indeed, for President Biden and our elected leaders. Thank you for being with me tonight. God bless you, and God bless America.”
Following the shooting, Trump released a statement thanking “the United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response.”
“Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured,” it added. “It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country.”
“Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead,” Trump continued. “I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”
