Podcast host Megyn Kelly said over the weekend that she believes that one Republican presidential candidate stood head and shoulders above the rest of the field last week during a forum that Tucker Carlson hosted in Iowa.
The candidates who spoke with Carlson at the Family Leadership Summit were Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, and Vivek Ramaswamy.
Kelly made the remarks when asked in Florida by Daily Signal Senior Reporter Mary Margaret Olohan what she thought of the candidates.
“I thought that was the best I’ve seen Ron DeSantis,” Kelly said. “I think DeSantis is starting to find his groove. He’s getting better at this. It was the best he’s done on Ukraine and a number of other issues.”
Kelly said that she thought Hutchinson was done, that Scott and Haley had positive qualities but were not going anywhere in the polls and that Ramaswamy was “falling flat on the inspirational front, even though that’s his main game.”
