A race this close is almost unheard of in Mississippi. Hyde-Smith won by 10 points in 2020, and Trump carried the state by more than 20 in 2024. If Colom’s lead holds through certification, it would be another blow to a Republican Party already bleeding seats everywhere.🔵

Congratulations Mississippi. Now, keep good thoughts for Tessa Hodge from CA23 who is a bit more than 2000 votes behind. We'd be trading a MAGAt grifter for a real representative. She KNOWS what her constituents face and will help them.

Our voting system works! Studies have shown that less than 1% of fraud has been found in voting and ballots in multiple elections. The only fraud being committed is coming from this regime & the republican party. They are trying to make voting for Americans more difficult. If we vote they lose!

MISSISSIPPI?!?! Colom up by 1,974 votes and the lead is GROWING. First Dem senator in Mississippi in 44 YEARS. If this holds, it's the biggest upset of the night. Reddest state in America just said "enough." This is not a blue wave, this is a tsunami.

Hyde Smith isn’t going to concede this race. They are already squawking about “the law”. Lose graciously. Most Republicans did that this go round, surprisingly. This hag will have to be pulled screaming and kicking from her seat.
