New: Meet the 27-year old behind the viral "pick another protein" ad that helped flip MS
I talked to Ryan Sayles about the ad, investing in the South + what Dems can learn ahead of 2028.
"You canāt give Mississippi a New York message," he told me.

NEW: After last week, Dems see political opportunity in red states for 2028 and beyond.
But in order to take advantage of what could be a historic electoral realignment, they'll need to figure out how to invest more in these state parties.

I tweeted this guy was an amazing actor, people from this part of Mississippi replied that he was the median guy off the street there, and it seems they were right nytimes.com/2026/11/11/us/elā¦

Running a campaign as an underdog against an entrenched incumbent in a deep red state is hard.
Running a campaign where you are underfunded is even harder.
Running a campaign where you are underfunded because people repeatedly say you have no shot is even harder than that.
Running a campaign as a Black man in a state with decades of seemingly immovable racial polarization is even harder than that.
Running a campaign where history rests heavily on your shoulders ā in a state where the last Black U.S. Senator was born a slave, with the specter of segregation, Jim Crow, Emmett Till, Medgar Evers, and countless more looming ā is even harder than that.
It takes a fearless candidate, a tireless campaign team, and a perfect storm to get here.
Congratulations to Scott, his family, his team, and to the state of Mississippi on this monumental achievement.
