מועמד הדמוקרטים האמריקאים קולום מנצח במיסיסיפי, הסנאטור השחור הראשון במדינה מזה למעלה מ-150 שנה

הערכה

Mississippi just elected its first Black senator since Reconstruction, a span of more than 150 years. The win lands in a state that was a battleground of civil rights era violence and legal segregation. This shifts the political symbolism of the Deep South, but the practical question is whether Colom can deliver for a state that remains one of the poorest in the country. Watch how national Democrats leverage this victory in future Southern campaigns.
