Hannah Einbinder has a pretty solid Haley Stevens impression, as it happens
After promising on Tuesday morning that she would debut her "perfect" Haley Stevens impression if the Democrats won, Hannah Einbinder delivered at around 2:06 a.m. Eastern time, flexing her Emmy Award-winning chops in a mock impersonation of the party-hopping (and outgoing) U.S. Representative.
As the U.S. midterm elections Tuesday night saw Democrats hand a decisive victory to Republicans, people woke up Wednesday morning ready to explore the remaining races and to laugh at the many meme-worthy moments that emerged from social media. One such moment involved Hannah Einbinder, an actor and activist from the show Hacks, who seemed to have captured the essence of Democratic U.S. Representative Haley Stevens.
Following her win, Einbinder posted on Instagram a statement promising a perfect impression of Stevens, and sure enough, less than two hours later, her video was shared online. In the clip, Einbinder, dressed in a bar setting and mimicking Stevens' nasal accent, expressed her intent to "give 'em a little bit of energy, a little bit of pow, a little bit of stick it to 'em, 'cause that’s the Michigan way!"
While it remains unclear what the future holds for Stevens, who abandoned her seat in the U.S. House of Representatives during her Senate bid, it is clear that Einbinder's impression has gained significant attention and acclaim.
