📍 Mississippi, US·🕐 26m ago·43 outlets

Scott Colom has become the first Black person to win a Senate race in Mississippi since 1874 and the first Democrat to do so since 1982 after being declared the victor in a razor-edge election on Wednesday. The win is a stunning upset in one of the country’s most reliably red states, adding to what were already sweeping gains by the Democrats at the midterms.
