🇺🇸 MISSISSIPPI MAKES HISTORY!
It's called! Democrat Scott Colom defeats Cindy Hyde-Smith. The first Black Senator ever elected from the state and first Democrat since 1982.
Congrats to America and @scott_colom
BREAKING: In a political earthquake, CNN projects that Scott Colom has won election to the U.S. Senate from Mississippi!
He is the first African-American to represent the state in the U.S. Senate in a jaw-dropping 145 years.
His shocking defeat of Cindy Hyde-Smith is sweet revenge, as she pulled out all the stops in 2023 to make sure Scott Colom would never become a federal judge.
So he took her job. Amazing.

Maine, I owe you everything.
I’m ready to get to work for Mainers in the U.S. Senate, and I promise you this: I’ll never forget where I came from or who I’m fighting for.
Thank you. Let’s go build a government that works for all of us.
