Powerful 'New Yorker' Cover Perfectly Depicts the Results of Tuesday's Election in One Image, and People Can't Get Enough

After Tuesday's election ushered in a wave of new Democratic House members who are more diverse than ever before, The New Yorker unveiled next week's cover, which captures that historic achievement perfectly with the use of watercolor and ink.

It's called "Welcome to Congress" and features several women and men of color entering an otherwise white male Congress. It was painted by political cartoonist Billy Blitt who said:


“In all the rancor and madness of the past few weeks (hell, the past few years), it appears we’ve just lived through a nice moment."

You can see the cover below:

People couldn't stop hailing it:

And saw some familiar faces crashing through the door to Congress:

"The New Yorker" put into perspective just how diverse this new class of Congress is:

As Margaret Talbot puts it:

Many of the winning candidates are women of color. They include the first two Native American women elected to Congress: the Democrats Deb Haaland, of New Mexico’s First District, and Sharice Davids, who defeated a four-term incumbent, Kevin Yoder, in the Third District of Kansas. Davids, a member of the Ho-Chunk Nation and a former mixed-martial-arts fighter with a law degree from Cornell, will be the first L.G.B.T. person to represent Kansas in Congress. Rashida Tlaib, of Michigan’s Thirteenth District, and Ilhan Omar, a Minnesota state legislator who came to the U.S. as a twelve-year-old refugee from Somalia, will be the first Muslim women in Congress.

As of Friday, over 100 women had been declared the winner of seats in the House of Representatives, marking a record addition of more than 35 women to Congress. As a result, when the new Congress is seated in 2019, approximately 25% of the House will be female.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.
