Dems can win more in Mississippi if they spend money, Scott Colom says
Politico reports that Scott Colom, who defeated Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in Mississippi's 2026 Senate race and will be the state's first Black senator since Reconstruction, says on Meet the Press that Democrats must invest more resources there so his surprise win is not a one-time event. He hopes to raise the minimum wage, push affordable health care, and return tariff policy to Congress, while declining to back Chuck Schumer or Chris Van Hollen for majority leader; Politico says Democrats may also win the Alaska seat.
