On Tuesday’s episode of “The Tonight Show,” Jimmy Fallon took aim at both Donald and Melania Trump as Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign gained significant momentum. Fallon highlighted Harris’ remarkable achievement of raising $81 million in just 24 hours, setting a new record for fundraising. He humorously noted that Harris might have exceeded this amount if Melania Trump had not reached her daily withdrawal limit, adding a comedic twist to the news.
Fallon also referenced a recent poll showing Harris leading Trump by two points in a hypothetical matchup following President Joe Biden’s exit from the 2024 race. He used this as an opportunity to make a quip about Harris’ nickname, “Laughing Kamala,” which Trump had used in the past, suggesting that Harris’ laughter has only intensified during the campaign developments.
“Harris just launched her presidential campaign, and she’s already broken the 24 hour fundraising record and secured enough delegates to clinch the nomination,”
“If you thought Kamala Harris was laughing hard before,” he quipped, referring to Trump’s widely-mocked nickname for Harris, “Laughing Kamala.”
