This will be Kelly’s first interview with a former President in seven years and since the big announcement, fans and netizens have been unable to contain their excitement.

Megyn Kelly clears the air before her interview with former POTUS Donald Trump
Kelly made the big announcement in the latest episode of her podcast, just a few days after Trump was interviewed by Tucker Carlson when he decided to miss the GOP Debate in Wisconsin.
The 52-year-old was happy to declare in her announcement that she’s “glad that Trump is doing the interview as he’s not saying yes to everyone.”
However, Kelly remarked that this in no way implies that she would either go too easy on him with the questions or completely side with whatever he has to say.
She declared, “Donald Trump knows that I’m not somebody who suffers from Trump derangement syndrome like the vast majority of people in the media but I’m also not a sycophant so I'm not gonna go in there and be a bootlicker.”
Kelly had Ric Grenell, the former acting Director of the US National Intelligence, as a guest on her podcast and he recalled Kelly being “tough” with Trump, the last time she interviewed him.
Kelly mentioned meeting Trump earlier this year in July when she and the former President smoothened out any earlier differences between them.
She recalled talking about this on the show where she said, “I’m glad that all that nonsense between us is water under the bridge and we’re just in a normal journalist covering you know President or former President situation.”
Kelly disclosed that the “Left freaked out” after she made the comments and rained down on her for forgiving Trump. Grenell comforted Kelly by saying that she’s “smart” and will do a great job.
