Jillian Michaels' Break with the Democratic Party
Resolved
On the Hang Out with Sean Hannity podcast in April 2026, Jillian Michaels told Hannity she is “done with Democrats,” saying the left “keeps eating its own” and that she didn’t leave the party, it left her, per the Fox News write-up. She cited border security as a breaking point, noted she previously worked for the UN Refugee Agency and adopted her child from Haiti, and — per her Ask Dr. Drew Episode 421 appearance — said she voted for the Trump/RFK Jr. “super ticket.”
The stated position frames her 2026 political identity: a self-described former Democrat now aligned with the Trump–Kennedy coalition, and it underpins her MAHA commentary defending Kennedy’s HHS tenure.
