A 77-year-old caller who described herself as a lifelong Republican told SiriusXM's "The Megyn Kelly Wrap-Up Show," the program from former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly, that she is weighing whether to vote a straight Democratic ticket in the midterm elections after becoming disillusioned with President Donald Trump and the Republican Party.

The caller, who identified herself as Melanie, told host Emily Jashinsky that she had "always been very conservative" and had "never voted for a Democrat" in her life. According to The Daily Beast, which covered the exchange, she said her support for Trump ended when he named Pam Bondi as attorney general at the beginning of his second term.

"At that moment, oh no, oh no," Melanie said of Bondi's appointment, adding that things went "way downhill" from there.

Trump dismissed Bondi in April amid frustration with her performance, including her handling of records related to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. According to Reuters, the president had also been frustrated by the pace of the Justice Department's efforts to pursue some of his political opponents.

Melanie told Jashinsky that she saw two options available to her in the midterm elections: staying home or voting for the Democrats. The midterm elections, set for November 3, 2026, will determine control of the House of Representatives and the Senate.

"At this point, I have two choices. I can either stay home and not vote, which is really against me spiritually, but — or I can vote for Democrats because it just doesn't matter," she said.

She directed her anger squarely at Republicans. "I'm so p—— at the Republicans that I just might go and vote straight ticket Democrat just because, just because," Melanie said. "Why should I be loyal to them?"

Jashinsky responded that she believed there were "so many people like you out there."

The call fits a string of similar moments on the program in recent weeks, and it comes as polling shows Trump's support slipping even within his own party. A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted September 17 to 20 put Trump's overall approval rating at 32 percent, the lowest figure recorded by the poll during his two terms as president. Among Republicans, 73 percent approved of his job performance, down from 82 percent in a Reuters/Ipsos survey taken a week earlier.

The survey also pointed to growing Republican dissatisfaction with Trump's handling of the cost of living: 51 percent of Republicans surveyed expressed disapproval of his performance on the issue, while 44 percent approved.

Melanie is not the only recent caller to the program to criticize Trump. Earlier in September, a caller who described himself as a three-time Trump voter said he would not back another Republican who had supported the president.

Melanie herself stopped short of committing either way, saying she had not yet decided whether she would vote Democratic or stay home.

"We're just s—— no matter what," she said.
