Watching the midterm results roll in from a bar, the “Hacks” star promptly posted a video of her Stevens impression following El-Sayed’s victory. “We’re gonna give ’em a little bit of energy, a little bit of pow, a little bit of stick it to ’em, cos that’s the Michigan way!” she says in the clip, shared to her Instagram Story. In a subsequent post, Einbinder celebrated the win, writing, “Mazel tov, Abdul.”
El-Sayed defeated Rogers in Michigan’s closely watched Senate race, becoming the first Muslim elected to the U.S. Senate. His victory came as Democrats secured control of both chambers of Congress in Tuesday’s midterms.
Elsewhere in the midterm race, James Talarico defeated Republican Ken Paxton in Texas, while Democrats also picked up Senate seats in Iowa and Kansas. In Maine, Democrat Troy Jackson unseated longtime Republican Sen. Susan Collins.
Democrats also flipped governorships in Texas, Iowa, Ohio and Georgia.
