.@scott_colom says the delay is NBD: “It’s really been an honor to be in Mississippi during this period of time. Because you cannot imagine the pride so many Mississippians feel. The, you know, thinking about the sacrifice that people like Medgar Evers and Fannie Lou Hamer. And they, it’s good to be around them, and I can feel their energy and excitement. And they can understand that I am somebody they can touch, and that’s gonna be present to fight for their dreams and their hopes. I think God wanted it to be this way. And I’m happy to be in Mississippi during this period of time.” @Lawrence

Let’s get one thing super clear. Ty Pinkins didn’t run as an Independent to help @scott_colom. He bashed me and @BGThompsonMS in every paper in the state for being early @scott_colom backers. He took his toys, trashed his past friends and ran off to try and be a spoiler. Those are the facts.

Somehow, this political ad introducing @scott_colom to voters manages to be both completely joyous and hard-hitting
Quick story about @scott_colom. When we started working w/him, we had an intro "bio call." Mom, dad & wife Nadia were also all on (rare for these types of calls), & he spent 30 min talking about how he & Nadia met. "How you doin" in this vid captures it! youtube.com/watch?v=8r_5xyM9…
More like “luh-FAY-yet” for Lafayette
And some of us pronounce Amite as “AY -mitt”
National press are sometimes struggling or avoiding the naming of MS counties. A little help:
AHL-corn
a-MITT
Cuh-PIE-ah
Cuh-HOME-ah
Issa-QUEEN-ah
La-FAY-ette

Dear Senator @cindyhydesmith, since no one else is telling you this, let me.
Put on your big girl panties, come out and concede this election to Senator-Elect @scott_colom. He needs to be able to participate in the New Senate Orientation and office selection that starts next week. The MS GOP needs to reassess their positions and prepare for 2027. This is a distraction.
If you are wondering why you lost:
1. You were an unpopular candidate during an extremely unpopular presidency. Senator Wicker showed that he was willing to push back against Trump, but I can’t recall a single time you ever did that.
2. Did you even campaign?
3. He outworked you up and down the state. Seriously, his signs were up and down 45, from the Alabama state line to 78.
4. Again, were you aware you were up for reelection? Because I’ve traveled the state extensively since July and I’ve seen maybe five signs for you.
5. You really tried let em eat cake in one of the poorest states. You didn’t even attempt to be relatable. The irony, of course, is that your family is in cattle farming. Such an unforced error.
6. Gas and grocery prices are up but wage growth hasn’t matched those increases.
7. Because at least 23 Americans have been lost in a war that no one wanted.
If you care about the State of Mississippi and this nation, it’s time to face reality. Concede. You’re gonna be fine.
Signed,
Non-Delusional Conservative

There’s an easy cure for this and it’s called medieval peasant-maxxing. You need to be building fires and playing festive carols. You need to be taking long walks, learning crafts and listening to stories read aloud. You need to be loading up on cheese and breads and pies.

Mississippi is one of the most beautiful places on earth with some of the best people you’ll ever meet and it’s criminal how it never gets its flowers nationally

Sorkin himself couldn’t write a scenario where a Mississippi senator refuses to advance the nomination of a qualified black judge against the advice of other republicans because he’s pro-lgbt, then him running for senate and beating the senator who rejected him

UPDATE: Scott Colom's lead in Mississippi's U.S. Senate race has grown from 65 votes to 1,138 votes, with 96% of votes in, AP reports.
Substantial ballots are outstanding in Democratic-friendly Hinds County, as well as thousands of affidavit votes. mississippifreepress.org/rol…

BREAKING: In a hilarious moment, Mississippi Democratic Senate candidate Scott Colom responds to his opponent prematurely declaring victory:
“Bless her heart.”

Four years ago, Pres. Biden nominated Scott Colom to serve as a federal judge in Mississippi.
Mississippi Republican Senator Roger Wicker supported the nomination of Mr. Colom. The state's other senator, Cindy Hyde-Smith, refused to do so based on absurd claims.
Mr. Colom reached to Sen. Hyde-Smith to address her concerns and respectfully point out misunderstandings on her part and appeal to her better angels.
Other prominent Mississippi Republicans reached out to Sen. Hyde-Smith asking her to reconsider and support Mr. Colom's nomination.
She still refused, effectively killing his nomination for no good reason.
She's now on the verge of losing her seat to Scott Colom, who would have never been a threat if she had supported his judicial nomination.

James Talarico, a Democrat, is quoting Scripture in his victory speech, and the crowd is cheering.
Democrats don’t hate religion. We hate watching people weaponize it.
Faith isn't the problem. Using God as a weapon against your neighbors is.
