"I actually think Mississippi is a blue state that needs to be organized." Last week, our @jmart talked with Raphael Warnock about why he's trying to get Democrats to pay more attention to the South. Currently, Democratic candidate Scott Colom leads the Mississippi Senate race by just over 2,000 votes. Watch the full interview: politi.co/4ell7Ja

This week we proved what is possible when we raise our voices together. In so many ways, you made history, Georgia. Be proud and stay in the fight. Let's get to work.

They always try to say we’re ā€œuninformed votersā€. They don’t understand we have praying Grandmothers. They know all the Tea. From their Special Young Men in Iowa to their Sher-Rod’s in Ohio, to ā€œOle Boys Sister in SCā€ to their very Special Hispanic Girl in Texas, to Keisha in Ga.
My ears focus in on something new every time I watch this video:

This may be the most Mississippi tweet I’ve ever seen.

I don’t know how many people noticed, but every single thing that Warnock mentioned about the Deep South during this cycle happened. He was one of the only people who clearly saw such a dramatic shift happening. They actually laughed when he said this.
Sen. Raphael Warnock told donors in April that Democrats are "sleeping" on Mississippi to some laughs, per recordings of event. His argument to invest in the race was that Democrats' "ceiling is too low ... our ceiling is 52. That's terrible. Part of the way to fix that is the South" "I think we can win in Mississippi if the conditions are just right" Colom currently leads by ... 65 votes Listen --> cdn.sanity.io/files/ifn0l6bs… cdn.sanity.io/files/ifn0l6bs…

Good morning from Mississippi! Our lead continues to grow, and we're now up by roughly 1,100 votes! We're confident Scott's lead will continue to grow as the remaining votes are counted. We're staying focused and protecting the integrity of our election.

Endorse.
If you’re a new Democratic US Representative or Senator you have an immediate job: Get your constituent services up and running. There are a ton of you in deep red territory and that’s the only way to survive 2028. You entrench yourself as deep into your community as possible

We understand the assignment. Let’s get corporate money out of politics, lower health care costs, and end this war.

Look at the margin in Mississippi. This race will come down to a literal handful of votes. Don’t let anyone ever tell you your vote doesn’t count.

I remember in 2020, I kept telling other staff in the Senate that Warnock & Ossoff were going to win in Georgia. They universally (a) thought I didn’t know what I was talking about or (b) thought I was joking and literally laughed in my face. Then, we won. (1/3)

This year was DƩjƠ vu. Senator Warnock kept pushing the party hard to invest in Mississippi and even went down to campaign for Colom when few others did. Same reactions as 2020. (2/3)

At some point, y’all have to start listening to Black voices from the South when we tell y’all what’s happening in the South. We still have something to say! Just waiting for folks to finally listen. (3/3)

FUN FACT: Joe Biden nominated Scott Colom to serve on the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi, his nomination was blocked by........Sen. Cindy Hyde Smith.

Maddow: It is Black women who won every single one of those races in Georgia for the Democrats—governor, secretary of state, attorney general, agriculture commissioner, insurance commissioner, school superintendent, labor commissioner and public service commissioner.
