SiriusXM host Megyn Kelly questioned whether Hollywood celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Jennifer Lopez, and Chris Rock were paid to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris during her recent campaign. On Tuesday’s episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show,” Kelly played a clip of Harris’s interview with Winfrey, who reportedly received $1 million from the campaign for her involvement. Kelly criticized these celebrity endorsements as ineffective, arguing that they did little to help Harris, who ultimately lost to President-elect Donald Trump. “They lost badly and have been rendered utterly powerless and feckless in the eyes of the electorate,” she said.
Kelly also discussed potential Democratic candidates already positioning themselves for the 2028 presidential race, mentioning California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg as possible contenders. According to Politico, Newsom and others are preparing for the next election cycle, with Newsom calling a special session of the California legislature to prepare for potential legal battles with the incoming Trump administration. Kelly expressed skepticism about Newsom’s chances, criticizing his progressive policies and suggesting that he may be “even more radical” than Harris.
SiriusXM host Megyn Kelly questioned on Tuesday’s podcast which Hollywood celebrities might have been paid for endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, before calling out Democrats who are reportedly already eyeing the 2028 presidential race.
During Harris’ campaign, the vice president faced backlash over her ties to Hollywood and billionaire donors, with endorsements from celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Beyoncé and Usher. On “The Megyn Kelly Show,” Kelly played a clip of Harris’s interview with Winfrey, who was reportedly paid $1 million from the campaign after the town hall event.
“Totally feckless. But by the way, did JLo get a payment for that? Did Chris Rock get a payment for that? Did anybody get paid for these endorsements that we were led to believe were just completely organic? I mean, do we really care? Because they’re all losers. They lost badly and have been rendered utterly powerless and feckless in the eyes of the electorate. Nobody will be asking for their endorsement again. No one smart. I mean, no one who wants to win,” Kelly said.
Kelly went on to state that Democrats are already starting to identify potential candidates for the 2028 presidential primary race, including names like California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro.

“It’s funny because there’s already a Democratic primary underway for 2028, believe it or not, yes, there is. It’s people like Josh Shapiro. Gavin Newsom out in California is already organizing his resistance to Trump’s agenda. Good luck, sir. The California liberal has already been rejected resoundingly by the electorate,” Kelly said.
“Why would the Democrats be so stupid as to elect another next go around? Your little widow’s peak does not distinguish you that much. It may be hard to believe he’s even more radical than Kamala Harris is,” Kelly said. “His crazy ass gender stuff is even more radical than hers was. It’s not going to be Gavin Newsom.”
Following Harris’ loss to Trump last week, Democrats like Shapiro, Newsom and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg have reportedly floated the idea of seeking the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination, according to Politico. Just two days after election night, Newsom called a special session of the California legislature to prepare “to support the ability to immediately file affirmative litigation challenging actions taken by the incoming Trump Administration.”
