Scott Colom Wins Mississippi Senate Seat in Historic Victory
The Wall Street Journal reports that Scott Colom, a local prosecutor, won Mississippi's Senate seat, becoming the first Democrat elected to the Senate there since 1982 and the state's first Black senator since the Reconstruction Era. A photo shows him greeting supporters at his Nov. 3 election watch party, and the Associated Press said he won a long-shot bid to oust the Republican incumbent as Democrats won across the country.
