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.

On Election Day, the American people spoke loud and clear: they are done with the corruption, incompetence, and callousness coming from the White House and the capitulation of Republican leaders. As I traveled the country to campaign for Democrats up and down the ballot, I witnessed the resolve of the people to turn pain into purpose, and anger into action. I congratulate all the great candidates who ran fantastic races and the thousands of volunteers who made calls, knocked on doors, and ensured Democrats won resoundingly. Now, the work begins to actually deliver results. The American people have elected Democrats across the country in federal, state, and local races who must be ruthless in using every lever of power to deliver economic relief for working families and hold this administration accountable for their deep-seated corruption. The people demand nothing less.
