United States prosecutor and Democrat Scott Colom has made history in Mississippi by becoming the deeply conservative state’s first Black senator in more than 150 years and ushering in the first Democratic victory there in more than four decades.
Senator-elect Colom’s narrow victory against Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith was declared late on Wednesday, more than a week after the US midterms, which many have called a “blue tsunami” as Democrats firmly seized control of both the Senate and House of Representatives.
It has been 43 years since Democrats last won a Senate seat in the state, in 1982.
But Colom’s win is significant beyond party politics and marks a turning point for Mississippi’s African American community too: he’ll be the first Black American senator since 1874.
And before Trump 45, Mississippi had Jeff Sessions as Senator, with Stephen Miller as an aide.
Time flies. Try to find out where Jeff Sessions is now, and what he is doing.
Stephen Miller, we know where/what and the only mystery is why he's such an asshole.
