I can hear cheering across the country as Scott Colom wins the Senate seat in Mississippi. Try to comprehend that he is the first U.S. black senator since reconstruction, 145 years ago. You can feel this moment of change in your soul! I know Scott will be a great Senator! He joins the best Senate Congressional class EVER!

Congratulations to the people of Mississippi and Scott Colom on the hard fought victory. The people of Mississippi have put politics aside and elected a senator that knows what the state needs and wants, knows not the working and business culture of the state and understands the people of the state. Good on Mississippi for not re-electing Cindy Hyde Smith just because she is a Republican. I didn’t see this victory coming. Kudos 🥳

Big news for Mississippi, and big news for the 2028 Presidential candidates who helped Colom while most counted him out. -Pritzker sent nearly $1.2M to support him -Booker and Buttigieg both traveled to MS to campaign with him in the final stretch

Trump and his morons turned part of the deep south blue 😹 Mr Colom will get Hyde-Smith’s job when she had blocked him before 🫣

Why do results from delayed counted results always favor a Democrat? Statistically that's an improbability.

Colom leads Hyde-Smith by 2,764 votes with thousands of ballots left. Why he says he can win, the count so far and a county map.

Vote riggers are taking over the country. Never thought I'd see the day a rigger got into the senate from Mississippi but here we are.

44 years. That's how long Mississippi waited to send a Democrat to the Senate. History doesn't ask for permission.

The more blue seats they win, the more accountable Dems become.🧐 If they fail to deliver what voters expect, America could be in for a red tsunami in 2028.
