Jimmy Kimmel on Monday night said President Donald Trump is running scared as the midterm elections approach ― and is especially panicked about what has traditionally been a deep red state. “He is shaking in his boots in Texas,” Kimmel said, adding that Trump-picked GOP Senate candidate Ken Paxton is trailing Democratic rival James Talarico by 6 percentage points in the latest New York Times poll. Kimmel called Talarico “one of the strongest candidates” the Democrats have had in a while. “They have nothing to hit the guy with,” Kimmel said. “So they’re back to this dumb lie claiming he’s a vegan ― or, as Trump pronounces it, vay-gun.” He rolled a clip of Trump repeatedly mispronouncing the word. “This man has a team of a hundred people around him at all times,” Kimmel said. “Not one of them pulls him aside and goes, ‘Hey, just FYI, it’s pronounced vegan. It’s not vay-gun. You sound stupid.’” In another possible sign of election panic, Trump has been using taxpayer dollars to run ads promoting himself, which he falsely claims are public service announcements. A number of the spots ran during the weekend’s football games.
