Jimmy Kimmel has joked that the 'Red Wedding' has begun after the results of the 2026 midterm election
Jimmy Kimmel is the first of the US' late show hosts to react to what many are calling the 'Blue tsunami' after the Democrats won both the House and the Senate.
Jimmy Kimmel has joked that the "Red Wedding" has begun after the results of the 2026 midterm election.
The United States elections have seen the Democrats win both the House and the Senate in a major blow to President Donald Trump and the Republican party.
None of the major late night talk shows aired live on Tuesday (03.11.26), but ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live! taped later than usual to allow for some reaction to the early results.
During his monologue, the 58-year-old host said: "What we do know for sure is that Democrats have officially taken the House. Thanks to President Trump. Blob Vila flipped another House!
“The blue wave made landfall, and now the Red Wedding begins.”
The late night star also joked that Trump spent election day tuning into Fox News coverage "trying to give himself an insurrection".
He teased: "Word from the from inside the White House is he’s already run out of dipping sauce containers to throw at the television set.
“Man, oh man, would I hate to be the Door Dash driver who delivers Trump his Papa John’s tonight?”
