Scott Colom was declared the winner of a razor-close election on Wednesday, becoming the first Black person to win a Senate race in Mississippi since 1874 and the first Democrat to do so since 1982. The upset came in one of the country’s most reliably Republican states, adding to sweeping Democratic gains in the midterms.
