We may have had to count One Mississippi, Two Mississippi, but Blue Mississippi sure has a nice ring to it! Scott, you put your heart and soul into this race because you believe in the promise of your state’s people. And they believed in you right back. I’m honored to have stood alongside you. Congratulations!
IT’S OFFICIAL! WE ACTUALLY DID IT! NEVER LET THEM TELL YOU YOUR VOTE DOESN’T COUNT! IF YOU’RE FROM A SOUTHERN STATE DON’T COUNT YOURSELF OUT JUST BECAUSE YOU DON’T THINK YOU’RE IN THE MAJORITY! KEEP SHOWING UP TO VOTE! OUR VOTES AND VOICES MATTER!!
it’s so funny that Trump fully just got sick of being president and started using the office mainly to engage in his true passion of real estate development
Just sent to me: Folks at the Mississippi NAACP office watching @CNN project @ScottColom’s Senate win. We referenced Medgar Evers in our coverage and that’s the office where Evers worked — bullet holes in the windows from that era remain.
Breaking News: Scott Colom, a Democrat, defeated Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith, Republican of Mississippi, in a close race, according to The Associated Press. His win makes him the first Black senator elected in the state since Reconstruction.

the state that had a confederate flag on its state flag until 2020, the state where Emmett Till and Medgar Evers were murdered, and a hub of America's biggest sin against man, just elected a black U.S. Senator for the first time since Reconstruction
absolutely incredible moment
Scott Colom will defeat Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in a major upset to become the first Democrat that voters in deep-red Mississippi have elected to the chamber in more than four decades, CNN projects. https://t.co/7V2Kh5ROgL
