‘Jeopardy!’ host pledges his vote to 2028 Dem candidate who will prosecute the Trump ‘regime’

January 8, 2026 | | Print Article

“Jeopardy!” host Ken Jennings has pledged his vote to the 2028 Democratic candidate who will commit to prosecuting members of the Trump administration.

Leftists may be wailing in outrage over indictments of bad actors like former FBI boss James Comey, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and others, but the truth is that they are the ones who are salivating over unleashing the federal legal apparatus on their political enemies, because let’s face it, they already did it during the Biden regime.

In a Wednesday post to left-wing echo chamber Bluesky, Jennings endorsed the Democrat weaponization of the government, further encouraging the 2028 field to run on a platform of raw political vengeance against President Donald J. Trump and his supporters.

“The ‘prosecute the former regime at every level’ candidate has my vote in 2028,” the host wrote on the day after Democrats celebrated the 5th anniversary of the J6 “insurrection,” which served as an excuse to wage a sweeping campaign of political persecution against MAGA conservatives.

Wednesday was also the day that a left-wing activist was shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer in Minneapolis after she tried to run him over, sending angry mobs into the streets in a tense situation that could explode into fiery violence at any time.

In another Bluesky post from Tuesday, Jennings seemed to criticize the successful military operation to arrest Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro and bring him to the U.S. to stand trial for drug trafficking.

“America is always like ‘ok but the NEXT regime change will work,’ like when I ‘cut out carbs’ briefly every January,” the host wrote.

A former “Jeopardy!” champion, Jennings replaced the legendary Alex Trebek after his death in 2020, first as a guest host and then tapped to permanently head up the popular game show in 2023.

Jennings’ commitment to backing the most extreme Democrat sparked calls to boycott “Jeopardy!” from X users.

The host has a history of anti-Trump, pro-Democrat takes.

Back in 2017, Jennings mocked then 11-year-old Barron Trump, who reportedly believed that the picture of disgraced comic Kathy Griffin holding a bloody replica of his father’s severed head was real after he saw it on TV.

“Barron Trump saw a very long necktie on a heap of expired deli meat in a dumpster. He thought it was his dad & his little heart is breaking,” he wrote in a deleted post to Twitter, which has since been rebranded as X after the platform was purchased by Elon Musk in 2022.

He also urged his followers to vote for socialist Democrats Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren in 2020.

Jennings walked back his social media posts when he was being considered to replace Trebek after he died.

“I just wanted to own up to the fact that over the years on Twitter, I’ve definitely tweeted some unartful and insensitive things. Sometimes they worked as jokes in my head, and I was dismayed to see how they read on screen,” he wrote in December 2020.

“Sometimes I said dumb things in a dumb way, and I want to apologize to people who were (rightfully!) offended. It wasn’t my intention to hurt anyone, but that doesn’t matter: I screwed up, and I’m truly sorry,” Jennings added.
