The midterm elections were Tuesday and many politicians and public figures tried to get people out to the polls. White House staffer Ivanka Trump posted a video on Twitter of her telling voters in bad weather to not "let the rain stop you," prompting Late Night's Seth Meyers to joke that Democrats were as happy in the rain as Andy Dufresne in the Shawshank Redemption.
Democrats won control of the House of Representatives in the elections, though Republicans gained seats in the Senate. The results mean that House Democrats will have subpoena power, prompting Jimmy Kimmel to joke that President Donald Trump spent "all night stuffing his tax returns into Mike Pence's mouth." The results were mixed for each party, prompting Late Show's Stephen Colbert to note that Democrats now have "one half of one of the three branches of government" and pointing to a card with six different emojis and saying "the feeling is… yes."
