Brendan SMIALOWSKI / AFP via Getty Images Hollywood woke up happy after the 2026 midterm elections delivered a blue flood, with Democrats not only retaking both chambers of Congress but also scoring a number of notable and historic wins.

Rosie O’Donnell, a longtime foe of President Trump, was recorded by Really American’s Marco Foster knocking her decades-long nemesis.
