Jimmy Kimmel Predicts New Trump Humiliation Is Just a 'Sneak Peek'

Key Points:

• Democrat Emily Gregory won Florida's State House 87 seat by a 2-point margin in a special election, flipping a district that Trump had won by double digits in 2022 and which is Trump's home district.
• The victory is seen as part of a broader trend of Democratic overperformance in Florida, including a narrow flip in Tampa Bay by Democrat Brian Nathan in a district Trump won by 7 points in 2024.
• Jimmy Kimmel and CNN analyst Harry Enten interpreted these results as early indicators of a potential "blue wave" in the November midterms, suggesting declining Trump influence among swing voters despite his endorsement of the Republican candidate.
• Trump’s approval rating has hit a record low of 36% nationwide, down from 43% before the 2018 midterms when Democrats regained control of the House by flipping 41 seats; Democrats now need only four seats to win a majority in 2026.
• Democrats also face a more favorable Senate map in 2026, aiming to flip seats in states like North Carolina, Maine, Alaska, Ohio, Iowa, and Texas, though regaining control of the Senate remains challenging.
