Famous American presenter Jimmy Kimmel could not hold back his tears when reading the news of Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election.
For months, Americans have been looking forward to this election. After Joe Biden retired, Kamala Harris was nominated by the Democrats to represent them in the next presidential election, which took place on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. Tensions were running high, but in the end Donald Trump was the winner with 295 electoral votes to Kamala Harris' 226. A few hours after his victory, the Republican nominee addressed a crowd of supporters and gave a speech that included a surprise nod to his wife Melania Trump.
While euphoria was at its height with Republicans, Democrats are still trying to recover from this brutal setback. The day after her defeat, Kamala Harris broke her silence live from Washington, warmly applauded by her supporters. The Vice President called for the election result to be respected, despite the disappointment.
"The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, it's not what we fought for, it's not what we voted for," she said.
Two days after the election results, celebrities, most of whom had called for Kamala Harris to be elected, are gradually beginning to speak out. And the least we can say is that the mood is not one for celebration, especially for Jimmy Kimmel, who spoke on his show during his traditional monologue. The famous American presenter looked very emotional and couldn't hold back his tears after speaking in a minor way for several minutes.
"It was a terrible night for women, for children, for the hundreds of thousands of immigrants who make this country better, for social security, for the climate, for science, for journalism, for justice, for free speech," he concluded.
Rapper Cardi B, who has publicly supported Kamala Harris, also responded on social media by simply stating, "I hate y'all." | BGNES
