The power is with the people, and the people of Mississippi are with Scott. @scott_colom makes history today as the first Black senator elected in Mississippi since Reconstruction. I saw firsthand when campaigning with him in his hometown that he is a brilliant leader and dedicated public servant who will work tirelessly to serve every Mississippian with pride. Congratulations, Scott.

It’s been only two generations of Alaskans who have completely constructed this state out of whole cloth. We can do it again.

This is a disgrace. Our fallen heroes deserve better than Pete Hegseth. RESIGN.

Cindy Hyde-Smith is going to represent Mississippi in the United States Senate for the next six years. We believe thousands of votes remain to be counted from dozens of Republican counties, and we are confident those votes will reinforce her path to victory. Election officials are continuing the normal process of counting outstanding ballots, including absentee ballots. They must have the time to complete that work and ensure every lawful ballot is accurately counted and every Mississippian’s voice is heard. We expect Democratic lawyers to pull out every stop, and we are prepared. Our focus is on completing the count and returning Cindy Hyde-Smith to the Senate to keep fighting for Mississippi values.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
As of this November 5 post, Democrat Scott Colom led Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith by over 1,000 votes with 96% counted in Mississippi's Senate race, which remained too close to call with outstanding ballots projected to favor Colom. apnews.com/projects/elect… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Unit… mississippitoday.org/2026/11/05/tho…

Three years ago, President Joe Biden signed the PACT Act into law, the largest expansion of healthcare for veterans exposed to toxic chemicals in decades. Our veterans made a commitment to serve with selflessness and bravery, and it's on us to uphold our commitment to them.

Democrats defeated at least 30 incumbent House Republicans in the midterms. Republicans didn’t unseat a single House Democrat.
