MAGA State Flips the Script; Mississippi Gets First Black Senator in 150 Years | Firstpost America
Mississippi has elected its first Black Democratic senator since Reconstruction, marking a historic political shift in a state long considered a Republican stronghold. Democrat Scott Colom defeated Republican incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith, breaking a more than 150-year barrier and ending the state's decades-long absence of a Democratic senator. His victory is especially striking in a state Donald Trump won by 20 points in 2024. Colom campaigned on the cost of living, healthcare and Medicaid expansion, while Black voter turnout surged. His win raises questions about whether Democrats are making gains among voters in traditionally Republican territory.
