Here’s a quick roundup of how celebrities reacted to Doug Jones’ win in Alabama last night…
Alyssa Milano sobbed (which we’d expect):
— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) December 13, 2017
Thank you for restoring my faith in humanity, Alabama. And thank you for fighting for what’s right, @GDouglasJones.
And thank you to every volunteer who knocked on doors, made phone calls, and that worked tirelessly to make this happen.

Actor Jeffrey Wright credited Charles Barkley, too:
Charles Barkley's on-point. Tonight is a post-@BarackObama, post-@realDonaldTrump, post-@BernieSanders night. @GDouglasJones is called not to speak to marginalized folks (black, brown, white, rainbow) but to ACT on their behalf.
