Kylie Kelceis no longer concealing her political opinions, but she is speaking up about why she stayed quiet during the 2024 presidential election.

“To me, that was like, ‘We know where you live,'” she toldThe New York Times, who noted that she and Jason live in a populated neighborhood. Now that the election is over and she feels safer, Kelce denied any regard for how other people perceive her politics.
“I mean this in the most respectful way,” she said in the interview. “I don’t care what other people have to say.”
Kelce’s recent endeavor, her new Wave Sports + Entertainment podcastNot Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce, recently made headlines after it debuted on Dec. 5. The first episode soared to No. 1 on Spotify and Apple,bumpingThe Joe Rogan Experienceto second place. After knocking his podcast chart supremacy, some of Joe Rogan’s fans — many of whom favor oppositely leaning politics to Kelce — voiced hostility towards her success.
But as she said in the article published on Thursday, their mockery and skepticism of her success further fires her up. “That’s getting me going,“ she told the outlet. She said she “couldn’t care less” about how high she sits on the rankings, especially as it compares to Rogan’s placement.

During the election, candidates took their campaign on popular podcasts, like Harris' conversation withAlex CooperonCall Her Daddyand Trump’s three-hour appearance onThe Joe Rogan Experience.
Kelce toldThe New York Timesthat she would also host any political figures on her show, namingMichelle Obamaand Pennsylvania Gov.Josh Shapiroas potential guests. She cited the latter’s initiative to put free period products in school bathrooms as something she admires.
“I would talk to Michelle Obama in a heartbeat, and I know she is not personally running,” said Kelce, adding that she’d “love it” if the former First Lady would run for office.
