Ken Jennings Says He’ll Vote in 2028 for Candidate Who Vows to ‘Prosecute the Former Regime’

His Bluesky remark landed during a public dispute over an ICE fatal shooting in Minneapolis.

Overview

  • The Jeopardy! host posted the pledge on Bluesky on Jan. 7 as his message spread widely online.
  • Users responded with game-show-style riffs, and Jennings added, "My kitchen table issue is 'don’t shoot people at their kitchen tables'."
  • The shooting involved Renee Nicole Good, 37, with video described by Mediaite showing an agent firing into her car as it moved forward.
  • DHS Secretary Kristi Noem labeled the event "domestic terrorism" and self-defense, a characterization Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey publicly rejected.
  • Jennings amplified a post by writer Kashana Cauley and followed with a thread about future elections and anti-democratic elements, while Sony and his representatives did not immediately comment.
