Jimmy Kimmel’s Late-Night Election Celebrations: “Everything He Touched Was a Loser”
On November 6, 2025, late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel celebrated the Democratic wins in recent elections with his usual wit and humor. During his monologue on last night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Kimmel emphasized that “everything Trump touched was a loser,” marking one of the most embarrassing moments for the former president since he discovered there was a Donald Trump Jr.
“It was a big night for Democrats,” Kimmel stated, noting their sweeping victories across the country. He observed that while the Democrats won major races on the East Coast and small ones in the South, even local elections were under their favor. In New York City, Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor with more than 50 percent of the vote, adding another name to be mispronounced during Thanksgiving gatherings.
A President’s Embarrassment
Kimmel highlighted that “Trump hasn’t been this embarrassed since he found out there was a Donald Trump Jr.” He further quipped, “Trump isn’t taking the news very well. Everything he touched was a loser.” Kimmel elaborated on how Trump had multiple excuses for his failures, stating, “In fact, he’s got two of them: ‘Trump wasn’t on the ballot,’ and ‘shutdown were the two reasons Republicans lost elections tonight.'”
Responding to Losses
Kimmel delved into how Republicans immediately began screaming about election fraud. He noted, “It’s weird how it’s only fraud when they lose, right? I mean, what are the chances?” Kimmel also criticized Trump for his ongoing attempts to blame Democrats for the government shutdown and downplay its impact, stating, “Trump has been desperately trying to convince anyone who will listen that Democrats are responsible for the shutdown and that it has nothing to do with him trying to hide the Epstein files.”
Creating a Food Donation Center
In response to the ongoing government shutdown, which is affecting numerous sectors of the country significantly, Kimmel shared his show’s initiative. The Big, Beautiful Food Bank, named in reference to President Donald Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill,” was created by Jimmy Kimmel and his team to aid those in need. The food bank will be hosted at the ABC show’s backlot in Hollywood and is set to gather both food and donations for the St.
Joseph Center and the Los Angeles Food Bank.
Kimmel wrote on Instagram, “Cutting SNAP benefits creates uncertainty for American children, seniors, and families. To support our community members in need, we’re starting a donation center.” His initiative reflects his continued commitment to addressing issues like hunger and food insecurity, especially during times of political turmoil and economic challenges.
Jimmy Kimmel’s monologue not only provided entertainment but also shed light on the political climate and the impact of government policies on everyday lives. By focusing on these themes, Kimmel continues to use his platform to engage in social commentary and advocate for those affected by current events.
