TV presenter Megyn Kelly has reacted to divorce rumours surrounding former US President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama. The host of The Megyn Kelly Show has termed it a "political earthquake" if true.
"I do not know whether this is true, but if it is, it truly would be a political earthquake in democrat circles, never mind America," she said.
Megyn Kelly added, "I don't remember a presidential divorce in modern history."
A clip featuring Megyn Kelly was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by journalist Collin Rugg.
Megyn Kelly can be heard saying, "There seems to be some momentum picking up in the rumour mill about their marriage." She added that while Michelle Obama skipping the funeral of former US president Jimmy Carter raised eyebrows, her absence from Donald Trump's inauguration "confirmed that something was going on between her and Barack."
