Jimmy Kimmel Jokes That Donald Trump Got “The Coveted George Santos Endorsement”: “I Think We Found His Running Mate”

Jimmy Kimmel had a field day after news broke that the House of Representatives would be voting to expel George Santos this week (and eventually did oust him from Congress this morning). During Thursday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, the late night host pitched a couple of career changes Santos could make after his expulsion.

Kimmel shared a clip of Santos seemingly endorsing Donald Trump‘s return to the White House. The New York Republican claimed he wouldn’t stop “until I see Donald Trump back in the White House.”

“Wow, the coveted George Santos endorsement. Trump must be ecstatic. I think maybe we found his running mate,” Kimmel quipped. “Wouldn’t that be great?”

Trump has yet to formally announce his running mate for the 2024 election, so Kimmel may just be onto something. And now that Santos is out of Congress, he has a wide-open schedule.

Kimmel later joked that it’ll only be a matter of months until we see Santos get “voted out of the Celebrity Big Brother house by Snooki and Flavor Flav.” His opening monologue also included a clip from The Golden Bachelor finale that was edited to feature Santos.

Santos was officially ousted from the House on Friday (Dec. 1) morning in 311 to 114 vote.

The vote, which is the last of three votes the House has made regarding Santos, comes after the Congressman was accused of using campaign funds for personal reasons. An investigation found that Santos had allegedly used the funds to get Botox, subscribe to OnlyFans and go on personal vacations.

He has been indicted on 23 counts of identity theft, wire fraud, and credit card fraud, amongst other charges. He has pleaded not guilty.

Santos has not publicly addressed his expulsion from the House since the vote was held Friday morning, but he did exclaim, “To hell with this place” after being voted out earlier this morning.
