Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said during a Wednesday appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" that he is "absolutely" still a Republican, citing Ronald Reagan as the kind of GOP leader he admires. The Washington Times reports he maintains his affiliation despite disagreements with the modern party, while Variety notes the remarks came after midterm elections it describes as a Democratic "tsunami."
Written by CRAYON from the outlets' reports below.Fox News's headline withholds his answer, while its excerpt reports that he is still a Republican and highlights Ronald Reagan as the kind of GOP leader he admires.

Variety places the interview in the context of the "blue 'tsunami'" midterms, quotes him saying he is "absolutely" a Republican, and cites his definition of a "traditional Republican" as someone who admires the party for having freed the slaves, details the other two outlets leave out. Variety alone introduces him as an "action icon" alongside his governorship and notes that Kimmel responded with a point of his own, while the two right-leaning outlets don't mention any exchange with Kimmel.
