End of An Era
Shaken by the blue wave of Democratic wins after Tuesday's midterms, some Republicans have started to distance themselves from President Trump, including Vice President JD Vance.
"Yep, on all their Instagram pics together, he covered Trump's face with an emoji like your friend does with their baby," Jimmy Fallon said on Thursday.
"Following the midterms, Secretary of State Marco Rubio was reportedly considering leaving the Trump administration. It makes sense that Rubio would leave in November because next month he starts his job at Macy's as Santa's little helper." -- JIMMY FALLON
"Yeah, Pete Hegseth could be gone as well, Rubio might step down, and Vance is distancing himself. Wouldn't it be ironic if the only person who stands by Trump is Melania?" -- JIMMY FALLON
"This is becoming an actual crisis. If Trump's base is abandoning him, his inner circle has got to close ranks. JD Vance, you're Trump's constitutionally appointed wingman -- back up your boy!" -- JORDAN KLEPPER
"In Iowa, a state that went for Trump three times -- not only did they pick a Democrat for governor and senator, a guy named Eric Armstrong won a seat in the state legislature despite the fact that he wasn't running. He suspended his campaign in September due to illness. He dropped out and still won. People were like, 'You know what? We'd rather have a guy on a ventilator than the Republican candidate.'" -- JIMMY KIMMEL
"The Democrats are up to 252 House seats and counting. They've pulled ahead in the Alaska Senate race, and they're even on the cusp of winning a Senate seat in Mississippi. I didn't even know Mississippi had Democrats. It's like finding out McDonald's serves a risotto -- it just doesn't seem right." -- JORDAN KLEPPER
"And over in Texas, Democrats flipped everything. They flipped the governor; they flipped the State House; they even flipped George Strait -- he's George Gay now." -- JORDAN KLEPPER
