Democrats Sweep the 2026 Midterms and Celebrities Are Absolutely Loving It

The 2026 midterms delivered a lot more than a“blue wave.”Democrats flipped both the Senate and the House, taking Senate seats in Texas, Maine, Kansas, Iowa, Ohio, and both Carolinas along the way. The seven-seat flip means Donald Trump finishes his final two years in office as a lame duck, and the balance of power in Washington has completely changed.

Celebrities wasted no time reacting. Mandy Moore celebrated with a post praising Stacey Abrams as the hero who opened the door, writing“Texas, this keeps getting better and better…”Henry Winkler kept it short and sweet, telling a fan“Dreams do come true.”Not every music moment was celebratory, though. Slovak artist Adéla publicly criticized the White House for using her song in a pro-Trump TikTok, which added an unexpected pop-culture twist to the whole night.

So what comes next? Congress flips, the final two years of the Trump presidency get a whole new dynamic, and the internet keeps serving up reactions, memes, and one very awkward song licensing situation. Which celebrity reaction did you love the most? Let us know in the comments.
