Former Vice President Kamala Harris reacts to Democrats regaining control of the House and Senate in the 2026 midterms: “Now the work begins.”
In 2020, former Vice President Kamala Harris went viral for her reaction to the presidential election results, and now, six years later, users across social media are saying “We did it, Joe!” as they scroll through the 2026 midterm election results. Following an evening of historic wins and the Democratic Party regaining control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate, Harris released a statement on social media this morning reflecting on the election results.
“On Election Day, the American people spoke loud and clear: they are done with the corruption, incompetence, and callousness coming from the White House and the capitulation of Republican leaders,” Harris wrote. “As I traveled the country to campaign for Democrats up and down the ballot, I witnessed the resolve of the people to turn pain into purpose, and anger into action.”
On Election Day, the American people spoke loud and clear: they are done with the corruption, incompetence, and callousness coming from the White House and the capitulation of Republican leaders. As I traveled the country to campaign for Democrats up and down the ballot, I witnessed the resolve of the people to turn pain into purpose, and anger into action. I congratulate all the great candidates who ran fantastic races and the thousands of volunteers who made calls, knocked on doors, and ensured Democrats won resoundingly. Now, the work begins to actually deliver results. The American people have elected Democrats across the country in federal, state, and local races who must be ruthless in using every lever of power to deliver economic relief for working families and hold this administration accountable for their deep-seated corruption. The people demand nothing less.
Harris, who joined and supported the campaigns of candidates like Abdul El-Sayed, James Talarico, Scott Colom, Keisha Lance Bottoms, and more, went on to congratulate all the “candidates who ran fantastic races and the thousands of volunteers who made calls, knocked on doors, and ensured Democrats won resoundingly.”
However, she ended her statement with a sobering reminder that the blue wave seen in last night’s election results is only the beginning. For the last two years of his second term, President Donald Trump and his administration have made a number of legislative decisions that have real impacts on the lives of everyday Americans, which was largely facilitated by the conservative party previously holding the majority in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. With Democrats regaining the majority, many hope that this flip will hamstring Trump’s agenda.
“Now, the work begins to actually deliver results,” Harris continued. The American people have elected Democrats across the country in federal, state, and local races who must be ruthless in using every lever of power to deliver economic relief for working families and hold this administration accountable for its deep-seated corruption. The people demand nothing less.”
