    If you haven’t spent I good amount of time living in the American South, I cannot emphasis enough how earth shattering this is historically. This is a “hell hath frozen over” level event

        Has there been analysis on who turned out and who didn’t? Did the normal maga base just not turn out, a combination of being complacent or disgruntled?

    A little FAFO going on there as well apparently

    The win comes just a few years after Hyde-Smith blocked Colom’s nomination to the federal bench, although the Democrat had the backing of other Republicans, including Sen. Roger Wicker, Mississippi’s senior senator.
