Jimmy Kimmel is highlighting his rancorous relationship with former President Trump in a fundraising pitch for President Biden and Democrats, boasting that he hosts a show that the former president “hate-watches.”

“Hi, it’s Jimmy Kimmel,” the ABC late-night TV host said in a Thursday email sent by the Biden Victory Fund.

“I host a ‘poorly rated’ show on TV that Donald Trump hate-watches,” he added, before making an appeal to donors to win a trip to a star-studded Biden campaign fundraiser this month in Los Angeles featuring him, George Clooney and Julia Roberts.

“Trump will hate this, so let’s do it!” the email signed by Kimmel said.

“Our democracy may not survive another four years of a Trump presidency,” the comedian said. “As our President might say ‘That’s no joke, man.'”

The host regularly skewers Trump on his show, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” He and the former commander in chief have also engaged in a long-running war of words: Trump has slammed Kimmel as “dumb” and called his TV ratings “terrible.”

In March, Kimmel responded live onstage at the Academy Awards to a social media post from Trump criticizing his hosting skills at the annual Hollywood ceremony.

“Has there ever been a worse host than Jimmy Kimmel at the Oscars?” Trump asked on Truth Social.

“Isn’t it past your jail time?” Kimmel quipped.

Voters kick all the Republican women out of the South Carolina Senate
The only three Republican women in the South Carolina Senate took on their party and stopped a total abortion ban from passing in their state last year. Sandy Senn, Penry Gustafson and Katrina Shealy from office during sparsely turned out primaries in June, and by doing so completely vacated the Republican wing of the five-member “Sister Senators," a female contingent that included two Democrats and was joined in their opposition to the abortion ban. For Republicans, the departure of Senn, Gustafson and Shealy likely means there will be no women in the majority party of state Senate when the next session starts in 2025.
