ミシシッピで民主44年ぶり勝利確実 黒人上院議員は約150年ぶり：朝日新聞
An Asahi Shimbun article reports that Democrat Scott Colom, 43, defeated Republican incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith in Mississippi's 2026 Senate race, becoming the state's first Black senator in about 150 years and its first Democratic senator since 1982. Professor Seiko Mikasa writes that the historic significance of his election outweighs the Democrats' win there after 44 years.
