Overview
- Democrats won the Virginia and New Jersey governorships, New York City's mayoral race, and California's Proposition 50, setting the backdrop for Kimmel's Election Night monologue.
- Kimmel mocked President Trump’s bad night with the line, “Everything he touched was a loser,” during ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live.
- He read a Truth Social post in which Trump attributed Republican losses to his name not being on the ballot and to the government shutdown, and he challenged that rationale.
- Kimmel criticized Republicans for “screaming and crying about election fraud” after the defeats, noting the claims surface only when they lose.
- He highlighted the show’s new “Big, Beautiful Food Bank” on the ABC backlot to collect donations for St. Joseph Center and the Los Angeles Food Bank, tying it to his public opposition to SNAP cuts.
