"Say what you want about Mr. Evil, but boy, what a politician. I mean, that's impressive — in an evil way, but still, impressive," Maher said during his Friday show. The host went on to predict that more Republicans will lose their elections.

Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), and Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI) retired. Meanwhile, the only two survivors are Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA) and Rep. David Valadao (R-CA).

Cheney also teased at a presidential bid during her concession speech on Tuesday, stressing the fact that Abraham Lincoln lost elections before later becoming President.
“The great and original champion of our party, Abraham Lincoln, was defeated in elections for the Senate and the House before he won the most important election of all,” she said. “Lincoln ultimately prevailed. He saved our union, and he defined our obligation as Americans for all of history.”
