Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer congratulated Democrat Abdul El-Sayed following his victory in Michigan’s U.S. Senate race Tuesday night.

El-Sayed defeated former Republican Rep. Mike Rogers in the closely watched contest, according to the Fox News Decision Desk.

“Michigan families and businesses have been hammered by Republicans in D.C. for almost two years,” Whitmer, who endorsed El-Sayed, said in a statement.

“Their chaotic policies have meant higher costs on everything, from gas, to groceries, to health care, and housing,” she continued. “With this election, Michiganders decided to reject their dangerous agenda and choose leaders who will actually lower costs and get stuff done that makes our lives better. I wish Senator-elect El-Sayed success as he goes to D.C. to fight for every person in Michigan to get ahead.”

“This was a long, intense campaign. It’s time to come together and remember who we are as Michiganders,” Whitmer said.

“We are leaders who roll up our sleeves and solve problems, and we know that we are always stronger together. Let’s get to work and make our state proud.”

Reid Hoffman, a prominent Democratic donor and the co-founder of LinkedIn, took to social media after Democrats looked poised to capture control of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate early on Wednesday morning, arguing that voters had issued a clear mandate for economic results.

“Voters made clear they demand a different kind of country. Americans want an economy that can compete globally and deliver for them at home,” Hoffman said in a post to X.

“These elections were an overwhelming wave against Trump and his cronies. Now, it’s on Democrats to make a hopeful case for our future — to fight for an economy that serves every American, not just the already rich and powerful, Hoffman said.

According to reporting from the Federal Election Commission (FEC), Hoffman poured over $8 million in contributions to the House Majority PAC, a fundraising group tied to Democrats in the House.

Even so, Hoffman argued the time had come for increased restrictions on political contributions.

“On my donations this cycle: We should get money out of politics,” Hoffman wrote in a separate post.

“And while people like Elon are spending outrageous amounts to keep authoritarian clowns in power, those of us who believe in the ideas of America cannot yield,” he added.

Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., pledged a flood of subpoenas after Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress during Tuesday’s midterm elections.

“They are going to need to plant new forests for all of the subpoenas we’ll be printing,” Markey said on X in response to a user who asked when there would be live televised trials of Big Tech executives.

Markey is one of several Democrats who vowed to use subpoena power for Trump administration officials and their allies once Democrats officially control the House and Senate in January.

“LAWYER UP,” Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., the top Democrat on the powerful House Oversight Committee, posted on X.

Rep. Delia Ramirez, D-Ill., rattled off a list of current and former Trump administration officials and allies she appeared eager to haul before Congress.

“Noem, Markwayne, Miller, Homan, Bovino, what’s up? Clear your schedule,” Ramirez wrote.

Texas U.S. Senator-elect James Talarico cited “scripture” during his victory speech following months of campaigning where his faith was a central focus.

“Scripture has taught me. My own life has taught me. Always bet on the underdog,” Talarico told a crowd of supporters following news of his victory over Republican Ken Paxton.

“Before I was a politician, I was a public school teacher. I taught Language Arts at Rhodes Middle School on the West side of San Antonio. And as I always say, teaching middle school is the best preparation for politics.”

Faith became a central theme of Talarico’s campaign as the Christian and Presbyterian seminary student frequently invoked the Bible while campaigning across Texas. His religious views also drew attacks from Republicans, including Paxton, who criticized Talarico’s past comments that God is “nonbinary” and his use of scripture to defend abortion rights.

Supporters of Democrat Abdul El-Sayed broke into chants of “Free Palestine” following his victory in Michigan’s U.S. Senate race Tuesday night.

El-Sayed, a progressive Democrat who faced scrutiny over his positions on Israel during the campaign, defeated former Republican Rep. Mike Rogers in the closely watched contest.

The Michigan Democrat faced criticism during the campaign over his rhetoric concerning Israel and Jewish voters in the state.

Outside his victory party in Detroit, supporters were heard chanting “Free, free Palestine.”

El-Sayed’s victory would make him the first Muslim American elected to the U.S. Senate.

El-Sayed’s victory comes as Democrats are expected to take control of the U.S. Senate, following major wins across the country, including Troy Jackson’s defeat of longtime Republican Sen. Susan Collins in Maine.

Fox News Digital’s Robert Schmad contributed to this report.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said Democrats will “end this national nightmare” and continue America’s “march toward a more perfect union” after winning control of the House and Senate during the midterm elections.

“We made it. House Democrats have taken back control of the United States Congress,” Jeffries, who won re-election in his House race, said in his speech.

“We’re gonna fight for an affordable America. We’re gonna end this national nightmare, and we’re gonna continue America’s long, necessary, and majestic march toward a more perfect union. God bless all of you. God bless our amazing candidates. God bless the United States of America,” he continued.

An unprecedented blue wave saw Democrats pull off stunning upsets in both battleground House districts and areas considered safe red seats.

The Fox News Decision Desk projects the GOP suffered major losses in four key groups: Hispanic voters, young voters, independents and rural Americans.

Midterm voters gave President Trump a “shellacking” on Tuesday, akin to that delivered to Democrat Barack Obama in 2010, when Republicans picked up 63 seats in the House and seven seats in the Senate. Though yesterday’s numbers were tempered by recent gerrymandering, the election was brutal for the GOP and for President Trump.

Democrats gained control of both the House and the Senate on Tuesday. The numbers are not all in, but Democrats flipped at least seven Senate seats and more than a dozen House seats.

The results in deep red Texas, where James Talarico beat Ken Paxton to become the first Democratic senator from the Lone Star State in 33 years, were shocking but not entirely unexpected. Paxton was an unpopular candidate who carried a lot of baggage. That Democrat Gina Hinojosa defeated incumbent Gov. Greg Abbott, putting a Democrat in the governor’s mansion for the first time in 32 years, was more stunning.

Equally stunning was that Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, the controversial anti-Israel progressive running for an open Senate seat in Michigan, beat former Republican Congressman Mike Rogers. One of the few bright spots for Republicans was Florida, where Republican Ashley Moody held her Senate seat and Rep. Byron Donalds became the first Black governor of the state.

As they did in 2010, Americans across the nation strongly rebuked the sitting president, declaring themselves unhappy with the first two years of his second term. Unfortunately for Republicans, questionable polling from many sources and President Trump’s low approval ratings turned out to be reasonably accurate predictors of the midterms.
