Incoming reports on Wednesday night showed that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who appeared on 33 ballots despite withdrawing his Independent presidential bid and telling voters to not choose him, received 594,000 votes, or roughly 0.4% of the total number of popular votes.

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel literally cried on Wednesday over Donald Trump winning the 2024 election, claiming it was a “terrible day” for all Americans, even for those who voted for Trump. Kimmel, along with other late-night hosts, is an ardent anti-Trumper who routinely mocks the former, and future, president in mean-spirited monologues and sketches. “It was a terrible night for women, for children, for the hundreds of thousands of hard-working immigrants who make this country g0, for health care, for our climate, for science, for journalism, for justice, for free speech,” Kimmel said through tears to his liberal audience in Hollywood. “I’ve been trying to come up with something positive, the best I can come up with is we’ve been through this once before and yes this time it’s probably gonna be worse, maybe a lot worse,” Kimmel amped up the dramatics. The host went on to take some not-so-subtle shots at Trump’s supporters, too, like suggesting they lack “common sense” and are ignorant or stupid.

I’m so stupid, I always think it’s gonna but for a lot of people, this just isn’t important. It’s not high on their list.” “It was a terrible night for everyone who voted against him, and guess what?” Kimmel continued. “It was a bad night for everyone who voted for him too. You just don’t realize it yet.” WATCH: Jimmy Kimmel is holding back actual tears lmaooo ? pic.twitter.com/ZsVootqJbr — Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) November 7, 2024 Jimmy Kimmel: “It was a terrible night for everyone who voted against him, and guess what?

Do your voting on Thursday or maybe Friday.” Despite Kimmel’s cries of supposed authoritarianism under Trump, it was the Biden-Harris DOJ who sentenced a young man named Douglass Mackey to prison time for a similar joke made online about Hillary Clinton supporters.

President Joe Biden looked relieved while addressing the nation on Thursday following President-elect Donald Trump’s dominant victory over Vice President Kamala Harris this week. Biden’s remarks from the White House were his first public comments since Tuesday’s election. “For over 200 years, America has carried on the greatest experiment in self-government in the history of the world,” Biden said. “That’s not hyperbole, that’s a fact.” Biden said he had already spoken to Trump and congratulated him on his victory. “I assured him that I direct my entire administration to work with his team to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition,” Biden said, later adding: “On January 20, we’ll have a peaceful transfer of power here in America.” Biden called for Americans to stop seeing each other as adversaries but as fellow Americans — remarks that come just days after he called tens of millions of Trump supporters “garbage.” The 46th president said that the election results proved that America’s election systems were honest, fair, and transparent. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ He said that “much of the work we’ve done is already being felt by the American people,” a fact that led to Trump’s victory. He claimed that “the vast majority of it” will not be felt for years to come. “You know, we’re leaving behind the strongest economy in the world,” Biden claimed. “I know people are still hurting, but things are changing rapidly.” He said he would close out his term by doing the most he could with the time he had left. “Setbacks are unavoidable, but giving up is unforgivable,” he concluded. “We all get knocked down, but the measure of our character, as my dad would say, is how quickly we get back up. Remember, a defeat does not mean we are defeated. We lost this battle.” Joe Biden looked relieved in his speech addressing the nation following Donald Trump’s victory over Kamala Harris pic.twitter.com/n4TccrhDRK — Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) November 7, 2024
