Jimmy Kimmel mocks Mike Pence’s potential vote for Kamala Harris

Jimmy Kimmel returned to ABC after a summer break, using his opening monologue to critique former President Donald Trump. He highlighted a recent interview where Trump criticized Kamala Harris for her treatment of Mike Pence during their 2020 debate, claiming she was 'nasty' and 'horrible' to him. Kimmel humorously countered Trump's remarks by recalling the January 6 Capitol riot, where Trump allegedly incited violence against Pence, suggesting that Pence might actually vote for Harris. Kimmel also took jabs at Trump's choice of running mate, JD Vance, mocking his appearance and lack of understanding of women. In contrast, Kimmel expressed admiration for Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, praising his charm and likening him to a fun-loving character. The late-night host concluded that he felt more optimistic about the upcoming election after his hiatus, especially following Biden's earlier struggles in the race.
