Jimmy Kimmel reacts to the midterm election results

November 4, 2026

A man in a suit stands on a talk show stage. A list of large words is visible behind him.

Results from the midterm elections were still rolling in while Jimmy Kimmel recorded his show on Tuesday, but there was enough information to show which way things were headed.

"It's all looking good for the Democrats," Kimmel says in the clip above. "Man oh man, would I hate to be the Door Dash driver who delivers Trump his Papa Johns tonight."

Kimmel goes on to mock the messages Trump and the Republicans were trying to push in the run-up to the midterms, saying they were vastly different from the issues Americans actually care about at the moment. He also spent time reflecting back on Trump's own efforts on the campaign trail, including his recent "ass" obsession.

"The only ass on Trump's mind tonight is the one that just got handed to him," Kimmel jokes. "The Democrats took so many seats JD Vance can't even find one to have sex with him tonight."
