Every single vote counts, and Mississippi is a prime example of that. Congratulations Scott Colom on your historic win. Here's to the first Black U.S. Senator elected by the people of Mississippi!

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!

My grandfather was born in Mississippi in 1930. He grew up in a town of 1,000 people. He had neighbors who were lynched. His grandfather was enslaved. The last Black senator from Mississippi was also born into slavery. And now, nearly 150 years later, we have Scott Colom. It is simply remarkable.
