James Talarico Stuns ‘SNL’ With Post-Midterm Election Win Cameo & “Trump Freezers” Swipe
James Talarico, newly elected to the US Senate, appeared on Saturday Night Live after Democrats’ strong midterm showing. He joined a sketch celebrating the party’s gains and poked fun at both his campaign’s repeated requests for $5 donations and the programme’s recurring scenes in which characters freeze when Donald Trump appears.
The sketch featured cast portrayals of Democratic leaders Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, as well as Trump and Pete Hegseth. The article says Democrats flipped seven Senate seats to reach 54, while winning 254 House seats to the Republicans’ 162; it also describes several historic state-level election victories.
