Jimmy Kimmel denounces President Trump after midterm Democratic victories
Jimmy Kimmel denounced President Donald Trump during his broadcast on November 5, after Democrats secured control of both chambers in the 2026 midterm elections. Earlier on November 1, Kimmel recorded a monologue after early returns showed Democrats winning the House and Senate, using the segment to mock Trump.
The show later featured a comedic sketch with a Natalie Harp impersonator, in which Trump was described as a lame-duck, and Kimmel noted the forthcoming change in House leadership. In subsequent remarks he ridiculed Trump for blaming others for the Democratic performance.
