Jimmy Kimmel to headline fundraiser for House Democrats

Late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel is set to headline a fundraiser for House Democrats’ campaign efforts.

The fundraiser, where tickets start at $25,000, is scheduled to take place in Los Angeles on March 10^th in support of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

 Others expected to attend include House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).

Kimmel’s advocacy for Democrat lawmakers comes as he has frequently taken aim at President Donald Trump while drawing scrutiny from his administration.

His show, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” was notably taken off the air for a few days last year over comments he made about Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

During his monologues in the days following Kirk’s murder, Kimmel criticized conservatives’ response to Kirk’s death, accusing MAGA supporters of politicizing the tragedy and “attempting to deflect blame.” He also mocked President Donald Trump’s and Vice President JD Vance’s responses, comparing Trump’s grief to that of a child while questioning the FBI’s investigation.

“We had some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and with everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel stated. “In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving.”
