As a prosecutor, I've always been tough on violent crime — but I also promised to be smart on nonviolent crime.
I met Noah in the courtroom years ago at his lowest. This year, I met him again at his highest. He's built a career for himself, is a union member and is a Christian with strong faith. I am so proud of all he has accomplished and am honored to have his endorsement.

At some point, we have to talk about @CookPolitical and other “prognosticators” who had me and other southern candidates labeled as solid R for much of the campaign cycle. They made it much more difficult to fundraise and are part of the reason the South has been neglected for so long.
They’re only a reflection of the past and mysteriously avoid any accountability when they’re wrong. One of their “analysts” was extremely condescending to me (not Jessica) when I tried to make my pitch for why they were wrong about my rating like he knew something about MS politics when he’s never been to the Sip. This attitude hurt Jaime Davis & others so much.

I think people outside the South don't understand how big of a deal it is that a black man won a Mississippi Senate seat. Take all your moderate vs progressive stuff and stuff it, that's all a sideshow compared to the real issue here.

Gary Chambers of Louisiana deserves accolades for the years of advocacy and organizing in the Black community to galvanize political power and turnout the vote. He has pointed out there should be a new Southern strategy with a call to action for the National Democratic Party. With 30-40% Black population in the Southern States these midterm elections was a demonstration of the work paying off. This is a legacy of the Civil Rights Movement. While Stacey Abrams deserves praise for the organizing that brought on this Blue wave in Georgia, @GaryChambersJr has been doing the same in Louisiana. With no resources from the National party, we were 2 points from winning the Senate seat, 2 seats in a runoff on December 12, and the attention of the nation, in spite of the Voting Rights Act being destroyed in Louisiana v. Callais. When evil people plot, good people plan. Gary Chambers reminds us to exercise our right of self determination. Vote 12/12

Cooper got 60% of the vote in a red state and carried the bottom of the ballot so hard that they broke the gerrymander, there’s something wrong with you

Roy Cooper just flipped a red senate seat blue by double digit margins. Far beyond what El-Sayed accomplished in his election. What was the point of you even bringing him up to bash him in support of AES?

Scott Colom just flipped a county in Mississippi named after a KKK founder. Poetic justice!!!!!!

You have my word.
This is why so many Republicans i know and moderates like me voted for you. You seem to actually be a Mississippian, not a DC person. The most hard-core Republican i know (my business partner at our law firm) changed his vote from a wrote in to you because you came to talk to people at the Trump Rally. You treated people who disagreed with you as humans that just should be talked to. Do that in DC for us and you'll stay in tge Senate forever in my book.

There is one group of Americans who have every right to have lost faith in the American Experiment and the possibility of change through democracy. African Americans have been murdered, tortured, denied equal rights and protection simply for being Americans who wanted to be treated equally and vote.
When they lost elections, they didn't storm the Capitol in a violent attempt to throw out results.
They organized, registered more voters and kept faith with the promise of America.
Yesterday, that faith once again made history.
Trump (probably) soon: “I’ve always been a Democrat, as you know. I’ve been a Democrat longer than you, longer than I’ve been a republican actually. Bill and Hillary came to my wedding. Democrats love me.”

In a gerrymandered district, our campaign was within a single point of winning. Thank you to everyone who worked to make that a reality. I am immensely grateful.
I will continue to fight for the people of TN and together our movement is just getting started.

I’ve come to think @elonmusk ended up doing Dems and progressives a huge favor by turning this place into a fetid swamp of feral right wing freaks where the most prominent members of their coalition post like cartoon movie villains and think it makes them look cool.
