  "summary": "During his Wednesday monologue on \"Jimmy Kimmel Live!\", Jimmy Kimmel criticized President Donald Trump following the Democratic party's midterm election victories. According to Variety, the elections resulted in a \"blue wave\" where Democrats took control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives and flipped governorships.\n\nTheWrap reports that Kimmel mocked Trump for deflecting blame for the Republican party's performance, specifically citing Trump's claim that he was not on the ballot and would have won in a landslide if he were. Kimmel told the president to \"just shut up\" and called him a \"spoiled child\" who lacks manners and sportsmanship.\n\nKimmel further argued that Trump's handpicked candidates lost across much of the country, despite the president's efforts to back figures such as Darline Graham in South Carolina, Thom Tillis in the Senate, and Ken Paxton in Texas.",
