Ken Jennings Says He’ll Back 2028 Candidate Who Promises to Prosecute Trump ‘Regime’

His verified Bluesky posts followed an ICE shooting in Minneapolis, drawing a sharp rebuke from a White House spokesman.

Overview

  • Jennings’ Jan. 7 Bluesky post read, “The ‘prosecute the former regime at every level’ candidate has my vote in 2028,” a statement multiple outlets verified.
  • The post came hours after an ICE agent fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis; court records identified the agent as Jonathan Ross, and police said Good was not a target of any investigation.
  • DHS Secretary Kristi Noem labeled the incident an act of “domestic terrorism,” a characterization Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey publicly rejected.
  • White House spokesman Steven Cheung criticized Jennings’ remarks in comments to the Washington Examiner, saying he preferred Alex Trebek and deriding Jennings’ tenure.
  • In follow-up posts, Jennings argued elections will occur in 2026 and 2028, criticized online “doomerism,” and engaged with a surge of supportive and critical responses.
