Late Night Laughs: Around the White House

The big story is that for the third straight time, Senate Republicans failed to repeal Obamacare, because they didn’t have the votes. Trump was like, “Well neither did I, and I still won!” — Jimmy Fallon

There are rumors that NFL legend Peyton Manning may run for Senate. Experts say there’s no way that mixing the NFL and politics could possibly go wrong. — Conan O’Brien

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders today said there isn’t anything to clarify about Trump’s position on NFL players kneeling during the national anthem, because the issue is, quote, “pretty black and white.” And then she winked so hard, her podium fell over. — Seth Meyers

Last night, a Republican named Luther Strange lost in the Alabama Senate primary. So now, “Luther Strange” will go back to his old job — a villain in a Batman comic. — Jimmy Fallon

Luther Strange lost to a crazy populist candidate who actually pulled out a pistol on stage at his campaign rally earlier this week. Now, technically, it’s still not clear if Luther Strange lost to that guy or just surrendered to him. — James Corden

Democrats are reportedly hopeful that controversial judge Roy Moore’s Republican primary victory in Alabama may boost their chances for a competitive Senate race in the state. In a related story, Wile E. Coyote says he really feels like he has a shot this time. — Seth Meyers
