After more than a week of counting ballots, Scott Colom has narrowly won the Mississippi Senate seat. And, the White House has sent a letter warning Democrats who plan to investigate the administration.
In a state that hasn't had a Democrat in office since 1980 and hasn't sent a Black Senator to Washington since the 1870s, Colom's win represents a massive upset in state politics.
A Supreme Court ruling that further weakened the Voting Rights Act paved the way for a record drop in Black representation in Congress. But a midterm blue wave helped hold off such a decline for now.
