Cindy Hyde-Smith is going to represent Mississippi in the United States Senate for the next six years. We believe thousands of votes remain to be counted from dozens of Republican counties, and we are confident those votes will reinforce her path to victory. Election officials are continuing the normal process of counting outstanding ballots, including absentee ballots. They must have the time to complete that work and ensure every lawful ballot is accurately counted and every Mississippian’s voice is heard. We expect Democratic lawyers to pull out every stop, and we are prepared. Our focus is on completing the count and returning Cindy Hyde-Smith to the Senate to keep fighting for Mississippi values.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
As of this November 5 post, Democrat Scott Colom led Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith by over 1,000 votes with 96% counted in Mississippi's Senate race, which remained too close to call with outstanding ballots projected to favor Colom. apnews.com/projects/elect… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Unit… mississippitoday.org/2026/11/05/tho…

I think that's why these guys don't mind war between nuclear states. There is no better shield from sun than soot, cesium and a nuclear winter.

Tim Cook seconded. Brilliant business leader. Also wish Elon was serious about hiring Jensen. That talent has to go somewhere and his company can take the pressure.

Sen.-Elect Colom: But I want to have a final word to every Mississippian: the ones that voted for me, the ones that didn’t vote for me, and the ones that didn’t vote. My commitment to you, each and every one of you, is that, first, I’m going to treat your children like I want my children to be treated. I’m going to treat your parents the way I want my parents to be treated. I’m going to treat your future the way I want my future to be. My commitment is to be someone that continues to stay in prayer, continues to have faith, and continues to work to make every Mississippian’s life better. That’s what you’re getting. I make a solemn commitment to each and every Mississippian: In every decision I make, I will never forget: The most important thing is Mississippi matters.

I really enjoyed particularly the food part in the book.
Food has always had a special place in my story. It was while looking for a good meal that I met Rajiv, and fell in love. Years later, India came to me the same way, one meal at a time. At first the variety amazed me and the spice scared me. Now dal chawal is the taste of home, and I can't go a day without it.

नासा (NASA) और दुनिया भर के डॉक्टर हैरान हैं! 🧐 जिस इंसान को पिछले 12 सालों से न ₹100 का पेट्रोल दिखा, न ₹1200 का सिलेंडर दिखा, न मणिपुर दिखा और न ही पहलवान बेटियों के आंसू दिखे... अचानक सोनिया गांधी जी की किताब में अपना नाम छपते ही उसकी आंखों की रोशनी और आवाज दोनों वापस आ गईं! चमत्कार को नमस्कार! 😂👏 सच ही है—इनका जमीर और आत्मा तो पहले ही मर चुकी थी, अब तो बस जब-जब ऊपर से चाबी भरी जाती है, तब-तब ये खिलौना बोल पड़ता है! धरती का बोझ!! 🚮 #AnnaHazare #SoniaGandhi #Belonging #PoliticalHumor #Andolanjeevi #Congress

Finally we meet the mind behind the masterpiece.
Our producer Emma tracked down the mastermind behind Mississippi Senator-elect Scott Colom’s viral “Pick Another Protein” ad, content creator Ryan Sayles.

Deleted a cheeky tweet about protein. I don't think after this gracious message it had any room on my TL.

It is a gracious concession. A rare thing in this day and age. Thank you for displaying moral substance.

There. Done it with copy link screenshot option. So many years wasted not knowing this could be done.
Me after realizing that the X product team should actually make it so you can take a screenshot of a tweet directly from the copy link option

They picked another senator then. Not another protein.
Scott Colom will defeat Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in a major upset to become the first Democrat that voters in deep-red Mississippi have elected to the chamber in more than four decades, CNN projects. cnn.it/4iEnxUo
