For Democrat Scott Colom, his quest to win a US Senate seat in Mississippi is a long shot but not a lost cause. The 43-year-old local district attorney is hoping to topple Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in a deep-red state that hasn't sent a Democrat to the chamber in nearly four decades or elected a Black candidate in a statewide race since the Reconstruction era. President Donald Trump won the state two years ago by 23 points. cnn.it/3VZIkdB

MSM and the democrats pushing hard in the South and will try and seduce Southerners with star power out of Hollywood that you see more of in Nashville and New Orleans. Hell, they've already hijacked Dolly Parton's legacy because that's what they do, and they are working really hard at trying to hijack Princess Diana's legacy to work for them as a weapon against the British Monarchy with Harry's help. He is pimping his mother out to the highest bidder.

Interesting development.

He's a strong candidate who wants what's best for Mississippi and is doing the work. (And he has the best campaign ad of the season - "pick another senator!" 🤣).

If he has zero chance of winning that's a lost cause.

There is no good reason why Democrats cannot make Mississippi competitive each and every cycle.

Vote for him because of his skin color? What the hell is wrong with you racists? This sounds like campaign interference.
