    Breaking: "I gotta know my options': Scott Colom holds off on backing Schumer for Senate leader

    The Mississippi Democrat also disputed Schumer's claim that he recruited Colom.

    “It’s not accurate to say he recruited me, though, because the people of Mississippi recruited me,” Colom said. “You think I was listening to somebody that lives in Brooklyn when I was deciding to run for United States Senate? No, I listened to the people of Mississippi.”

    Colon pushes back on Schumer taking credit for his win (cont.)

    He admitted his campaign had to win “the hard way” and noted candidates in other states “got hundreds of millions of dollars and “unlimited resources.” If party leadership wanted to show its “commitment to the South,” Colom said, they should start by providing real, tangible support for future candidates fighting in races like his.

    “They need to make sure they take actions going forward that make that achievable,” he said.

    Colon pushes back on Schumer taking credit for his win (cont.)

    Sanders Townsend pressed Colom on whether he would back Schumer in his bid to retake his position as Senate majority leader in January.

    Colom refused to commit to backing Schumer but stopped short of throwing his support behind anyone else.

    “I gotta know my options, and I’m not trying to be cute,” he said.
