Not sure if this was brought up already but apparently Colom was nominated for a federal judiciary spot by Biden. Hyde-Smith blocked it with a blue slip. Now he has a good chance of taking her seat. Lol.

Reporters talked with the Independent that also ran in that Mississippi race, and the Independent was a black Republican who figured "one way or another we'll get a black congressman in her seat," and he actively campaigned in non-Black, heavy Republican areas to siphon votes from her with disgruntled Republicans who didn't want to vote for a Democrat.

For the first time ever - Colorado Springs + El Paso county elected a Dem for the house.
The Springs was the last place I lived in the US, so I still get to vote there. Happy to have played a small part in the transition from deep red to more and more blue.

I know you're kidding, but I'll bite. Greenville is lovely in a 'tree-lined Republican streets' sort of way. Charleston has great food but is...less lovely (almost stepped on a used dope rig outside my hotel there years ago).
D Senator or not, I still wouldn't move to SC even if I were paid to. If you want the Charleston historical and food experience without the overhype, I can't recommend Savannah enough - but I would never live there either. The southern Jaw-Ja fetid swamp heat makes Orlando's summer humidity feel tame and tolerable in comparison.

Colom: "Everybody just needs to calm down, follow the law. It's very clear the direction of this. Ultimately, at some point the senator needs to speak out. Where is Cindy Hyde-Smith? Why can't she speak for herself? What is her path for victory? She doesn't have one."

In the news pieces I have found regarding his decision not to run again, he cited hyperpartisanship and vague threats to his family and other pols. Also mentions his older daughter is starting school and how he didn't want her to have to deal with any bullying or nasty comments from classmates or teachers as the daughter of a public official.
He never really specified any of the threats (I guess there was a bomb threat to his home last Thanksgiving?) or which side he thinks they came from, which would be irrelevant regardless as its unacceptable no matter who is doing it. So I'm not sure where CNN is getting the "far left/DSA activists mad about Israel" part of their piece, and I can only assume they're doing what the cable news media does best - try to stir the pot for clicks. Plus let's face it - a lot of media brass are pro-Israel. And no, that's not an antisemitic "JEWS CONTROL THE MEDIA" argument. Mark Thompson, the current CEO of CNN, has been accused of being biased in favor of Israel during his time at the BBC.
After 8 years in Congress, I think he'd just had his fill and was looking for the exit ramp.

Yeah - who knows right? The CNN piece was just something I had not heard before. And who knows if he would have won again - he just as much could have lost to LePage - although Golden weathered tough re-elections before and the incumbent does usually seem to have at least a little advantage to start off with.
