Even on the night of the election, television host Jimmy Kimmel would be disappointed and frustrated, as given on Jimmy Kimmel Live after results from the 2024 US Presidential Election had come in. Emotional monologues brought forth the words from him to describe such an election night as “terrible” for women, children, immigrants, healthcare, and the environment.
The talk show host insists that the results are damaging in regard to democracy, science, journalism, and social justice. He was even critical of the electorate who elected the President-elect Donald Trump by declaring it a horrible night for everybody, including his own voters, but they perhaps would never realize so now. His words indeed reflected how deeply he was bothered by this election’s impact on their future country.

Elections: Republican nominee Donald Trump declared victory after Fox News projected him to win the election despite a competitive campaign race with Democratic nominee Kamala Harris. Trump spoke to his supporters, saying America had given him “an unprecedented and powerful mandate.”
For Bollywood, too, no silence was observed. Actor-politician Kangana Ranaut was quick to troll Hollywood celebrities who were endorsing Kamala Harris, mainly panning the endorsement she said caused Harris’s popularity to sag. Meanwhile, actor and comedian Vir Das, who will host the International Grammys, joked that the energy in the room would be interesting-most likely referring to the political climate of the outcome of the elections.
Whether it is Kimmel’s statements or reactions from Bollywood stars, the 2024 US Presidential Election evokes a lot of emotions across the US and the world at large.
