Celebrities across the United States reacted with jubilation Wednesday after Democrats flipped both the Senate and the House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections, delivering a sweeping repudiation of Republican control in several conservative strongholds.
O'Donnell Declares 'Trump Regime Over'
Former talk show host Rosie O'Donnell, now living in Ireland, posted a nine-minute TikTok video declaring the "Trump regime is over." She told followers: "It's a beautiful morning in the world. Thank you America. We gave a very loud and clear message to Trump and his sycophants, his criminal friends: we've had enough." O'Donnell mocked the former president as "delusional, diaper Don" and said the victory was "bigger than a blue wave. It was bigger than a tsunami."
Historic Democratic Wins
Democrats seized control of both chambers as voters in Texas, Maine, Kansas, Iowa, Ohio, and both Carolinas rejected Republican candidates. The night also produced historic firsts: the nation's first Black female governor, first Native American female governor, first Native female senator, and first openly gay male U.S. senator. In Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed became the first Muslim elected to the U.S. Senate.
