The moment Democratic Senator-elect Scott Colom took the stage at his victory party at Tougaloo College

[James Singer @Jemsinger]

People forget what experts predicted for Democrats in the Senate at the start of the 2026 cycle:

[Jeff Zeleny @jeffzeleny]

Another moment of history: Scott Colom will become the first Black senator from Mississippi since Reconstruction, CNN projects, defeating Cindy Hyde-Smith. Her words on election night didn't age well, when she said: "I blocked Scott Colom from being a federal judge, and you blocked him from being a US senator."

[Scott MacFarlane @MacFarlaneNews]

There it is:

Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee issues the statement:

“Congratulations to Senator-Elect Scott Colom on his historic win and on becoming the first Democrat to win a Mississippi Senate seat in over four decades. We will work hand in hand with Scott to fight for Mississippians’ health care, costs, and future in the 120th Congress and look forward to welcoming him to our caucus. Scott is a seventh-generation Mississippian, proud husband and father of two, and District Attorney who has dedicated his life to keeping communities safe. He has never stopped fighting for his neighbors, because Mississippi Matters – and he’ll continue to be a champion for Mississippi in Washington.”

[Austin Dean @HeyAustinDean]

My heart could not be more full for the people of Mississippi, but especially for @Gerard_Hen who managed one hell of a campaign for an incredible candidate.

SENATOR-ELECT SCOTT COLOM!!!!!

And that’s FIFTY-FIVE folks!

The front page in Anchorage note:

Mary Peltola is closing strong

[Gerard @Gerard_Hen]

A week ago, at this exact time, 11:40p, we took the lead with 28 votes. A week later, our lead has only grown.

[Maddy McDaniel @maddymcdaniel14]

Post ’24, winning the Senate was a longshot. We had tons of calls in the early days urging staffers to give tough races a shot. Some people didn’t want to take a chance & lose—but more did. Thank you to everyone who hit the road again despite the odds. All this is because of you!

[Roy Cooper @RoyCooperNC]

Time to get to work.

[Jennifer Bendery @jbendery]

Mary Peltola has widened her lead against Dan Sullivan in Alaska's Senate race, per her campaign.

Peltola is now leading by 2,517 votes, after new vote drops from the Anchorage and Chevak areas.

She outpaced him by 68% to 30% in these areas.

Good morning, Mississippi! Kicking off the week with some great news: Scott is leading by 2,574 votes. We're confident that once every lawful vote is counted, he'll be Mississippi's next U.S. senator. Thank you to everyone who got us here and believes Mississippi Matters!

Cindy Hide-Smith is losing just like she “governed”: hiding from Mississippians #PickAnotherSenator

[Adam Hamilton @Hamilton4Kansas]

Let's get to work.

[Monica Robinson @mo_robz]

excellent taste

[Taylor Vance @taylorcvance]

Scott Colom told reporters yesterday that his favorite book is Anna Karenina by Tolstoy. He also enjoys War and Peace, the Robert Caro books and Things Fall Apart.

Probably his worst take is he doesn’t enjoy James Baldwin’s novels, but everyone’s allowed a few bad opinions.

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

Scott Colom is leading by 2,498 votes. His lead will continue to grow.

[Monica Robinson @mo_robz]

Beautiful.
