American television host and producer Jimmy Kimmel didn’t hold back his feelings following the 2024 US presidential election, where Republican candidate Donald Trump secured a decisive victory. In a somber and emotional address to his audience on Wednesday night’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” Kimmel expressed profound disappointment and frustration over the outcome.

Kimmel further highlighted the stark reality of the choice American voters made, drawing a stark contrast between the two presidential candidates. “The choice came down to a prosecutor and a criminal, and we chose the criminal to be President of the United States,” he declared, casting a critical lens on the election results.
He went on to question the outcome and the potential consequences, stating, “More than half of this country voted for the criminal who is planning to pardon himself for his crimes. I guess this election wasn’t rigged.”

His emotional remarks brought to light the deep divisions within the country and the heavy weight of the decision made by the electorate. The host’s poignant words captured the raw emotions and the sense of apprehension that gripped many Americans in the wake of Trump’s victory.
As Kimmel concluded his show, he simply said, “There’s nothing, goodnight everybody,” and walked off the stage. His words left the audience with a sense of unease and unanswered questions about the future of the United States under Trump’s leadership.
