November 7th 2024.
It's been a wild ride in the world of American politics, folks. Jimmy Kimmel, beloved talk show host, has been schooling us all on just how little we actually know about our own Presidential elections in a recent series of interviews that have left us all scratching our heads.
As most of us are now aware, the 2024 US election results are in, and Donald Trump has been declared the victor over Kamala Harris. This news came as a shock to many, including Kimmel himself, who was moved to tears upon hearing the news. Trump secured the win by surpassing the 270 electoral vote threshold in the wee hours of the morning, but it seems that wasn't the only thing that caught Americans off guard.
Kimmel and his team took to the streets to get a feel for how well-informed the public was about the election. What they found was, well, quite alarming. In a clip shared on his late night show, Kimmel showed interviews with several unsuspecting citizens who were completely unaware that the election had taken place the day before. When asked if they had voted, some confidently replied with a "yes," while others were unsure. One person even claimed there were "big lines" at the polling station that day.
In an effort to educate his audience, Kimmel urged viewers to "stay in line and vote, even if that line is a little long." However, it seemed that many of the interviewees were clueless about more than just the election. When asked if they were planning on changing their clocks back the following weekend, some answered "yes" even though the clocks had already gone back the weekend before. Yikes.
It wasn't just politics that these folks were out of the loop on. When asked if they had any predictions for the election, one person admitted they had been watching the news but "it's hard to say what's going to happen." Another claimed to be a "news junkie" who reads a lot "on the internet" and watches NBC and a "little bit of Fox," yet still managed to miss the biggest news story of the day.
But it wasn't all ignorance and confusion. Some interviewees were openly rooting for Kamala Harris, even though she had already lost the election. One person wished her luck and even gave her a pep talk, saying "you've got this!" Another person, however, had a different view on the whole voting process. They boldly stated that they don't believe in voting and that "it's the higher ups at Wall Street" who call the shots.
In a particularly awkward moment, one woman threw her boyfriend under the bus by admitting that he would be voting that day, even though the polls had already closed. She then wished Harris good luck, not realizing that her vote was no longer needed.
It's safe to say that Kimmel's interviews were a bit of a wake-up call for many Americans who were completely unaware of one of the most significant events in our country's history. But hey, at least we can all learn from this and make sure to stay informed and up-to-date in the future. Right?
As the dust settled after the recent 2024 US Presidential election, talk show host Jimmy Kimmel took to the streets to get a sense of how everyday Americans were feeling about the results. And what he found was both surprising and, at times, downright bizarre.
After a long night of vote counting, it was announced that Donald Trump had emerged as the winner, defeating Kamala Harris in a historic election. But as Kimmel's team approached people on the street, it quickly became clear that many of them had no idea that the election had even taken place the day before.
In a clip shared on his late-night show, Kimmel asked people if they had voted that day, completely oblivious to the fact that the election had already happened. Some even thought they still had a chance to vote for Harris. One person confidently replied "yes" when asked if they were planning to vote that day, while another claimed there were "big lines" at the polling station.
Kimmel's team also asked about the upcoming time change, to which many responded that they would be changing their clocks back the following weekend, despite the fact that the time had already changed the weekend before. It was clear that these individuals were not just clueless about politics, but also about basic current events.
One person even wished Harris good luck, not realizing that she had already lost the election. And another admitted that they didn't believe in voting at all, claiming that it was the "higher ups at Wall Street" who really controlled the outcome.
It was not just the election that these individuals were unaware of, but also the basic details of their daily lives. One person said they were excited but nervous about the election, but had no predictions. And another claimed to be a "news junkie" who read a lot on the internet and watched NBC and Fox, yet somehow missed the biggest news story of the day.
As Kimmel's team continued to interview unsuspecting Americans, it became clear that many of them were completely out of touch with reality. One person even threw their significant other under the bus, claiming that their partner would be voting that day, hours after voting had already ended.
Overall, these bizarre and often comical interviews served as a reminder of how little many Americans know about their own presidential elections. And as Kimmel tearfully noted, it was a sobering realization that left many wondering just how well-informed the general population truly is.
