Colom is on track to win the Senate seat.
If Democrats also win the governorโs seat next year, Mississippi will be blasted with ads in 2028 and contested by both parties on the presidential level.
Itโs much cheaper to go on the air waves in Mississippi than say Florida.

At some point, we have to talk about @CookPolitical and other โprognosticatorsโ who had me and other southern candidates labeled as solid R for much of the campaign cycle. They made it much more difficult to fundraise and are part of the reason the South has been neglected for so long.
Theyโre only a reflection of the past and mysteriously avoid any accountability when theyโre wrong. One of their โanalystsโ was extremely condescending to me (not Jessica) when I tried to make my pitch for why they were wrong about my rating like he knew something about MS politics when heโs never been to the Sip. This attitude hurt Jaime Davis & others so much.
Before 2028, Hinojosa should start online voter registration and bring back straight ticket voting as an option.

For the first time in Dallas county history Latino voters , came out in larger numbers than African -Americans but we are still not matching our majority demographic status is Dallas county and Texas . Lulac and many others registered 31,000 new Latino voters in 2026, we need to hit 100,000
New voters in 2027. If we do that the presidential nominee in 2028 can carry Texas and we will send the MAGA ideology down the toilet drain of history#democrats#hispanic#latino#texas#dallas#houston#sanantonio#RGV
The DSA member Angie Nixon won this heavily Cuban district containing Hialeah by more than Jolly or Dรญaz-Balart
2028 gives Utah the chance for Senator Ben McAdams (D)
Which also gives Salt Lake City a chance to get a progressive house rep in a deep blue seat

"I think it would be a mistake to interpret this election result in Texas as a shift in the partisanship of the state," Talarico told me.

Heโs DOA in a Texas primary and is likely to underperform across the entirety of the Southwest from New Mexico to California.
His performance with minorities is going to be Buttigieg-esque, just abysmal
NEW in @POLITICO: Gina Hinojosaโs win put Texas at the center of a political earthquake. It could bite Andy Beshear, the Kentucky governor who chairs the DGA.
At its heart is an intra-party bruise over a history of a lack of investment in Latino candidates and communities, especially in Texas. That sparked a standoff between Hinojosaโs Latino allies and the DGA in the campaignโs final stretch.
After Hinojosaโs victory her allies are vindicated. Theyโre also pointing their knives on the DGA, Beshear and his possible presidential ambitions โ saying Texas isnโt his win to claim.
More from on the ground in Austin:

I feel like itโs incredibly negligent to simply leave out the fact Abdul had to endure some of the most racist rhetoric of the 21st century. Being the first muslim senator obviously took a toll on his performance, and yet he still won by 7 points.

MS NOW: Scott Colom wonโt commit to backing Chuck Schumer as Senate Majority Leader once the Mississippi Senate race is called for him
โItโs not a good thing that both Leader Schumer and Leader Jeffries both live in the same borough, right? I want somebody that understands rural America.โ
Weโre on track to flip *Mississippi* on the federal level by winning a senate seat. A Democrat will be favored to flip the Gov. seat next year.
If we donโt just absolutely unleash a crap ton of investment and fundraising into Mississippi in 2028, what are we doing as a party.
Considering where we are now, when itโs all said and done @scott_colom should end up north of 5,000 votes ahead. For the team of #SenatorScottColom the math is math-ing. The fat lady is warming up her vocal cords and Iโve got a good phone number to call the dogs.
