Jimmy Kimmel sees Tuesday’s election results as a clear bad sign for President Donald Trump. Tuesday’s elections saw the defeat of several high-profile Republican candidates across the country. The most devastating result for the MAGA world was the decisive victory of NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani over Trump-backed Andrew Cuomo.
Democrats dominated the first major Election Day since President Donald Trump returned to the White House, and there are signs that the economy — specifically, Trump’s inability to deliver the economic turnaround he promised last fall — may be a real problem for Trump’s party.
Here are seven takeaways from Tuesday’s elections: In the blue states of California, New Jersey and Virginia, Newsom, Sherrill and Spanberger effectively used Trump as a foil for their electoral efforts. Trump wasn’t on the ballot Tuesday — a fact he quickly trotted out on Truth Social to rationalize the wake of setbacks for his party.
Trump's campaign-style speech to business leaders in Miami was designed to tout his economic accomplishments as voters increasingly say his administration is not doing enough.
Mamdani’s comments followed Trump's endorsement of former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and threats to withhold federal funds from the nation's largest city.
U.S. President Donald Trump's campaign on Thursday sued Philadelphia County's Board of Elections, seeking an emergency injunction barring it from counting ballots so long as Republican observers are not present as it said was required under Pennsylvania law.
The party swept statewide elections in admittedly blue states and saw signs of a rebuke of President Donald Trump and a resurgence for Democrats after a year in the political wilderness.
In his first Truth Social post commenting on the election results, Trump suggested that the reasons why Democrats won is because he was not on the ballot and because of the government shutdown. Trump has repeatedly blamed Democrats for the shutdown despite Republicans controlling both chambers of Congress and the White House.
