Jimmy Kimmel has a blunt reaction to Trump blaming everyone other than him for midterm results

November 5, 2026

A man in a suit stands on a talk show stage. A social media post from the president is visible at the bottom of the screen.

The midterms are over, and the results were pretty decisive.

Jimmy Kimmel has already reacted to the Democrats winning big, but in the clip above he turns his attention to the fallout — including Donald Trump's reaction both online and off.

"He's still our president, and in the face of defeat he is doing what he does best: blaming everyone other than him," says Kimmel in the clip above. "He took shots at the Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, he called him a RINO [Republican in Name Only], he went after Fox News for their coverage, and then he resolved himself of all responsibility. He wrote: 'I wasn't on the ballot. And if I was, we would have won in a landslide.'

"Oh shut up, just shut up, please. Give us a break for one day and shut that ridiculous mouth. You are such a spoiled child."
