Congratulations @scott_colom. The people of Mississippi have realized their power and there's no going back. Scott, welcome to the fight. Let's get to work.
The power is with the people, and the people of Mississippi are with Scott.
@scott_colom makes history today as the first Black senator elected in Mississippi since Reconstruction. I saw firsthand when campaigning with him in his hometown that he is a brilliant leader and dedicated public servant who will work tirelessly to serve every Mississippian with pride.
Congratulations, Scott.
HISTORY MADE: For the first time since the Reconstruction era, Mississippi—the state with the highest percentage of Black residents—will finally have a Black U.S. Senator.
Congratulations, Senator-elect Scott Colom!
Cindy Hyde-Smith is going to represent Mississippi in the United States Senate for the next six years. We believe thousands of votes remain to be counted from dozens of Republican counties, and we are confident those votes will reinforce her path to victory.
Election officials are continuing the normal process of counting outstanding ballots, including absentee ballots. They must have the time to complete that work and ensure every lawful ballot is accurately counted and every Mississippian’s voice is heard.
We expect Democratic lawyers to pull out every stop, and we are prepared. Our focus is on completing the count and returning Cindy Hyde-Smith to the Senate to keep fighting for Mississippi values.
Congratulations to Senator-Elect Scott Colom!!! 🌸🎉
@scott_colom is a seventh-generation Mississippian, husband, father, and District Attorney who has dedicated his life to keeping communities safe. And today, he becomes the first Democrat to win a Mississippi Senate seat in over four decades.
DEM FLIP: Democrat Scott Colom has defeated incumbent Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith, flipping Mississippi’s U.S. Senate seat blue.
When he is sworn in, Senator-elect Colom will be the first Democrat in 38 years to represent Mississippi in the Senate.
Congratulations!
Three years ago, President Joe Biden signed the PACT Act into law, the largest expansion of healthcare for veterans exposed to toxic chemicals in decades.
Our veterans made a commitment to serve with selflessness and bravery, and it's on us to uphold our commitment to them.
