🚨Just so people understand how momentous the election of @scott_colom is, even outside of Mississippi: 1️⃣The first popularly-elected Black Senator was Edward Brooke (D-MA, 1967-79) 2️⃣Obama was only the THIRD popularly-elected Black Senator 3️⃣In ALL OF AMERICAN HISTORY, there have only been 14 Black Senators out of 2,020

20 years ago, I proposed to @GabbyGiffords at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. Any guesses on what the inscription on her ring says? There's a hint in this video.

This is why so many Republicans i know and moderates like me voted for you. You seem to actually be a Mississippian, not a DC person. The most hard-core Republican i know (my business partner at our law firm) changed his vote from a wrote in to you because you came to talk to people at the Trump Rally. You treated people who disagreed with you as humans that just should be talked to. Do that in DC for us and you'll stay in tge Senate forever in my book.

Victory has a thousand fathers and defeat one... But to extent money matters, Dems hard-money dominance w/ LUR helped blunt super PAC attacks. Gonna be tough in 2028. Nuke Dem Scam PACs that raise/spend inefficiently; make it easier for all Dem candidates to raise hard money.

I had a miscarriage earlier this year and because of people like @KenPaxtonTX @GregAbbott_TX @DanPatrick I had to carry the dead fetal tissue of a baby I really wanted FOR THREE MONTHS because in Texas, I wasn't allowed access to abortion medication even without a heartbeat. Anyone who knows a Texan knows we are PROUD, but Texas really is about to have her moment in the sun y'all with Governor-elect @GinaHinojosaTX @VikkiGoodwinTX @Senfronia4Texas —relief is on the way 💙

NEW: Today, legal counsel for the Scott Colom for Senate campaign issued a letter to all 82 Mississippi Counties, their Election Commissioners, and their Circuit Clerks to make clear the NRSC’s and Cindy Hyde-Smith’s demand to segregate affidavit ballots is unlawful. READ⬇️

Good morning from Mississippi! Our lead continues to grow, and we're now up by roughly 1,100 votes! We're confident Scott's lead will continue to grow as the remaining votes are counted. We're staying focused and protecting the integrity of our election.

Immensely proud of all my clients but working for Peggy Flanagan saved me. Every time I worried what would happen yesterday I thought about Minnesotans. Regular people who had enough and showed the fuck up. America acted like Minnesota last night and it has changed everything.

Yo I remember in the thick of the ICE situation I was in Minnesota. Random white American’s would be posted outside mosques and Muslim businesses to deter and help defend against ICE. One of the most heartwarming things I’ve ever experienced.

Look for @scott_colom to increase his lead. There are still several precincts left out of the total for Clay County where only 78% of the vote has been counted. I represented Clay County for 16 years, you can bet the Colom numbers there will grow his raw vote totals. Every other county is at 95%+ in according to @nytimes #MississippiMatters #MSSenate

For those watching Mississippi, know that the only county left of the counts you are seeing is Holmes County. That county has an 85% African-American population. Hold tight, folks. I won Holmes County 4,918 to 834. @scott_colom will carry it even bigger.

Mississippi, we’re feeling really good about tonight! Y’all have shown up and SHOWN OUT! Votes are still being counted in Lowndes and the Delta, and we’ve got 15,000+ affidavit ballots out. Buckle up, Mississippi. Change is coming, and we’re going to get this done!
