I’ve always viewed Hyde-Smith as someone who clearly felt her states partisanship would shield her from the electoral consequences of being a straight up bigot. Should she go down it’ll certainly be in contention for the most satisfying flip this cycle.
We are not backing down. This election is not over. Our team is working across Mississippi to monitor the remaining ballots and protect the integrity of the process. We will see this through to the very end!View quoted post on X

***EXCLUSIVE***
Democrats are preparing to use their new power in Congress to force the DoJ to hand over the unredacted Epstein files needed by Scotland Yard to pursue a case against Lord Mandelson, @Telegraph can reveal.
The party plans to use its incoming control of Congress to compel the release of documents that could prove crucial to bringing criminal charges against the former ambassador.
Democrats are also planning a renewed push to summon Lord Mandelson before Congress to answer questions about his links to Jeffrey Epstein, after he rebuffed previous invitations to give evidence, sources said.
The intervention could throw a lifeline to Scotland Yard’s investigation, which has stalled amid delays by the Justice Department in handing over the original documents.
