Here are the Democratic bangers from tonight's election

Democrats Abdul El-Sayed, Annie Andrews and Chris Pappas all made history when they won their Senate seats in Tuesday's midterm elections. They become the first Muslim senator, the first female senator from South Carolina and the first openly gay male senator in US history.

In addition, party colleagues Adam Hamilton becomes the first Democratic senator from Kansas in nearly 100 years and James Talarico the first from Texas in 38 years.

- I am at a loss for words for how honored I am to have received your trust to fight for you in the United States Senate, Chris Pappas said before thanking his husband, Vann, who stood with him on stage.

"The American People Have Spoken"

Adam Hamilton pointed out that only about 25 percent of Kansas residents identify as Democrats, yet he won the state Senate seat.

- The voters in Kansas, regardless of party color, have said: What is happening in Washington is not okay.

Several of the candidates believed that voters had had enough of corruption and that money seems to control politics.

- The American people have spoken and made it clear that they have had enough of extremism, enough of corruption, said Democrat Hakeem Jeffries.

Jeffries also looks set to make history – as the first African-American speaker of the House of Representatives.

The United States also gets its first African-American female governor in Georgia and its first Native American female governor in New Mexico.
