Summary

In an emotional monologue, John Oliver urged undecided and reluctant voters to support Kamala Harris, emphasizing her policies on Medicare, reproductive rights, and poverty reduction.

Addressing frustrations over the Biden administration’s Gaza policy, he acknowledged the struggle for many voters yet cited voices like Georgia State Rep. Ruwa Romman, who supports Harris despite reservations.

Oliver warned of the lasting consequences of a second Trump term, including potential Supreme Court shifts.

Oliver said voting for Harris would mean the world could laugh at this past week’s photo of an orange, gaping-mouthed Trump in a fluorescent vest and allow Americans to carry on with life without worrying about what he might do next.

        I’m not sure what counts as “living” and “residence” in everyone’s eyes, but he has dual citizenship and definitely uses it, and it’s not like he doesn’t treat the UK with some element of homeliness. If it counts towards anything, he undoubtedly has family in the UK. Today, along with Election Day, also happens to be Guy Fawkes Day (or for some people, Anonymous Day, but that’s aside the point). So any special schedule of his today would take place there.

          Bonfire Night is really just not that big a deal over here. I’d happily bet you one shiny new pence piece that he’s in the US today.

            …really? What’s Bonfire Night doing all the way across the commonwealth then? Places as far away as New Zealand celebrate it like it’s America’s fourth of July. One can considered me confused now.
