Former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, NBC News journalist Andrea Mitchell, and New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd were also among the late-night partygoers. Guests at the comedic festivities were eyed hitting up an open bar and a huge dinner and dessert buffet at the American brasserie.

Maher on Friday announced the “winning loser” of his “Flip a District Challenge.” Rep. John Kline (R-Minn.) is not a top Democratic target this cycle, but Maher will now try to flip his district from red to blue to make the lawmaker “feel the heat” of his constituents.
