The last detail about Colom's race I dig into is that Biden initially nominated him for a Federal Judgeship but Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith blocked his confirmation.
Had she confirmed him... she wouldn't have had to take him on in this race at all.
But instead Colom didn't back down and he ran for Hyde's seat instead.
Winning by razor thin margins.
Across the south something is VERY clear... tons of these races in the South were shamefully underfunded YET they have been insanely CLOSE races especially with Black politicians.
The story of Jamie Davis' campaign in Baton Rouge nearly winning on $0.06 spent per won vote against a Trump endorsed opponent who spent $9 a vote!
The DNC needs to support Southern races!

I could talk all day about Black voter turnout but to understand what -actually- is propelling the Democrat rise right now you also have to pay attention rural white voters in majority white districts.
Places like North Carolina's 11th district it easy to see how candidates like Jamie Ager won.
A focus on TRUE working class Southern politics.
- FEMA funding
- Cheaper health care
- Lowering inflation
- Ending Trump corruption

Now don't get me wrong the US left & DNC tea leaves readers like me will debate who gets credit for these "blue" wins until the heat death of the universe.
But one thing is clear Trump and the Republicans lost BIGLY. They have no one to blame but themselves
And we're all laughing at MAGA for putting their electoral future in Trump's hands.
Only time will tell how that shit stain on American history will react (probably bombing Iran more) but for now this week is funny af
So if you've been listening closely to each of the politicians who pulled of BIG upsets above you might have noticed something similar between them.
- FULL fledged support for Medicare for All
- Ending military support to Israel
Those seem to be the TWO top election issues lately and the comedians(above) and entertainers especially like Charlamagne tha God have been harping on both of these issues for years now and has been constantly underscoring how the DNC leaders are in the way.
Now while the critiques of Chuck and Hakkim is very on time it's clear the Zionist in the DNC are still hoping to retain control of the party.
Here's everyone's favorite rising Democratic Zionist, Elissa Slotkin, who appears to be pretty stoked about being asked if her Zionist ass should be put in power.
While she does have a great question about the Dem's 100 day plan no real reform on the Israel issue will be coming from Slotkin.
So don't fall for it.
“Last night I unfortunately missed a vote series on two Joint Resolutions of Disapproval regarding the sale of weapons to Israel."
Elissa Slopkin was well known last year during her campaign for ducking and dodging questions about her Zionism. The ex-CIA officer with "middle east training" is by her own words EXTREMELY knowledgeable about the region and conflict.
Some how she's CIA trained but just "forgot" about this vote ...
@nullagent Anyone who says the Schumer was the mastermind needs to reconcile how he ignored the south. This was a win in spite of Schumer and the DSCC, not because of them.
Nov 8, 2026, 12:19 AM@nullagent After the polling failures of 2016 to now, the battleground system needs to be laid to rest.
Start over. Every state is a fight, ready or not, for 2028.
