This is a breaking news alert and I have some great news to report. We can finally make the call. Democrat Scott Colombe will go on to win the Mississippi Senate race. That's right. Lawyer, judge, and now Democratic Senator elect Scott Colombe will go on to win the Mississippi Senate race defeating the Maggie Republican extremist Cindy Hyde. This is a historical win as well. This is the first time there will be a black senator representing Mississippi since reconstruction. The last time you had a black senator for Mississippi was about 145 years ago. Also, this is a Senate seat that Jefferson Davis once held the former president of the Confederate States of America. You had Scott Colombe rally all people in Mississippi and now we can finally call this race. Let me show you as CNN also made the call. Let me play the clip for you right now. Let's play it. We have some more breaking news here. We have a major CNN projection. CNN is now projecting the Mississippi Senate race and CNN is projecting that Democratic candidates Scott Colombe will win that race. Democrats now gaining their 55th U.S. Senate seat with a Scott Colombe victory over Republican incumbent Senator Cindy Hyde. Smith Colombe's vote count lead grew after a key county this afternoon just finished its vote. It is worth taking a moment to recognize that this win for Colombe is not only a major upset, not only a big victory for him personally, not only a big victory for the Mississippi Democratic Party and the National Democratic Party. This is a remarkable moment in American history. Scott Colombe will become the very first black man elected as a senator in Mississippi since the reconstruction era more than 140 years ago. That's right. We were getting some of the vote tallies in and we're able to make this call the same way vote hub and others were able to make this call when there were three more vote drops that just took place totaling 2,394 votes from that batch of votes. Scott Colombe 174.4% of those votes and all of the outstanding votes have a very similar characteristic we expect. So the lead that Scott Colombe has right now statewide 4,585 votes will only increase and in terms of a recount that's not going to make a difference here as these numbers continue to increase and increase. So not worried about that at all. We can safely make this call that Democrat Scott Colombe will go on to win that Mississippi Senate seat. Congratulations, Senator elect Scott Colombe. Now a few important facts to mention here as well. Cindy Hyde Smith as a Magga Republican extremist senator from Mississippi, she blocked Scott Colombe from becoming a federal judge. Former president Biden had nominated Colombe to become a federal judge. Colombe had bipartisan support. He was a very beloved figure in Mississippi. He was a former state judge, former top prosecutor as well. And so all parties supported it. But Cindy Hyde Smith, because she was the senator from Mississippi, was able to block it and she blocked that nomination. Scott Colombe then several years later would go on to run against her. Run one of the most he ran one of the most incredible campaigns. I've seen I had the honor of interviewing him back in September 2025 where I made a video that was called Trump gets a rude awakening from voters in Mississippi. And a lot of people were saying, Ben, that's hyperbolic. He's not getting a rude awakening in Mississippi. You don't know what you're talking about. There's no way a Democrat could ever win in Mississippi. Well, there you have it. And when I interviewed Scott Colombe recently, he talked about how important that interview was on the Midest Touch network back in September 2025. I'll show that to you in just a moment. But I want to show you first, what I think was the best ad or at least one of the best ads of this election cycle that Scott Colombe ran and his opponent, now the loser Cindy Hyde Smith, she had said that yeah, it's not a big deal that beef prices are high. People should just eat different meats. Stop complaining about beef prices. There's other proteins out there. So just be quiet. So Scott Colombe now, Senator Alex Scott Colombe ran the following ad. Let's play it. Go on price of beef continuing to go up. You know, you have so many proteins to choose from. Pick another protein. Shit, I'd rather pick another Senator instead. Shit, I'm lost to damn minds. I'd rather pick another senator. What the. Pick another senator instead. Scott Colombe was also at the Mississippi rally that Donald Trump held. Remember, Donald Trump was in Mississippi, which was one of the signs that a lot of the polling was moving in favor of Scott Colombe. Going back to September of 2025, Colombe was always very confident that he was going to win that race. But during the Trump rally that took place before the election, Scott Colombe was actually there with people waiting online to see the Trump rally. Scott Colombe said, "I walked the Trump rally line to listen, not make assumptions." I talked with voters, asked questions, and heard what matters to them. When I'm elected, I'll represent all 82 counties and every Mississippi, no matter who they voted for. That's what being your senator means. Here, play this clip. What are you expecting at the rally tonight? I've never been to a Trump rally. What matters to you is the veteran, right now. Second member, right? Second member, I'm big on that. How do you throw out the one I ran? Get out of it. We don't need to be there, it's not our problem. So going to the most recent interview I had with Scott Colombe from about two weeks ago before the election. I'll show you what he said here, and you'll note that he references our prior interview, and nobody was believing in this campaign. The Midas Touch Network was the first to interview Scott Colombe. We always believed in him. But I talk, I mean, thank you for giving me the opportunity very early on when nobody thought Mississippi would be on the radar to tell my story, tell my message. So God bless you, my friend. And since then, we went out there, we did the work. I've done over 60 town halls. I've been to the housing projects. I've been to the college campuses. I went to the music festivals. And we just built a campaign from the grassroots level. And people Mississippi got behind me. And they're ready for a new direction. And here's the thing, you know, our junior senator, she had done a town hall in six years. She refuses to debate. Listen, I challenged President Trump to debate. I said, listen, since she's chicken, won't you debate? You know, because the problem with President Trump in sending high prices, I call it sending high prices because that's all we get from her is they it's like my mom when I was growing up. She told me, Scott, if you talk too much, your ears start to shrink. And if you, if they shrink too much, you won't be able to hear. They, but President Trump is sending high prices and talking too much. They haven't been listening. And because they haven't been listening, they don't understand that people are out there struggling. The tears have been terrible. The war in Iran has been a disaster for Mississippi. And they lie to us and betray us when it came to the esting fast. They probably they would prosecute pentafiles, not protect them. And so that's why Mississippi is on the map. More from Scott Colombe here talking about Cindy Hyde Smith. Let's play it. It's connected from people. She does not campaign. She has no idea how people are struggling. And you know, she's taking the vote for credit. This is why it's like saying to the last time we talked, we talked about tariffs and farmers. This is why my message to farmers. She is absolutely betraying you. You were promised that you're going to be looked out for America first. Well, the tariffs have been terrible for farmers in Mississippi. They lost their customer. Then the war in Iran was bad because they got diesel prices through the roof. So they're input costs are up. So, you know, they're filing for bankruptcy. And then the one, the few farmers that were doing well were Kalamin because big prices arrived. Well, the President Trump, because of some corrupt deal. And he's looking out for Argentina putting Argentina first, not Mississippi first. He implored it to be from Argentina got rid of the tariffs screwing the cal. I mean, when are they gonna actually put Mississippi first? When are they gonna actually look out for the people of America? And that's why we're gonna win all over the country. It's because we've been betrayed. They're not looking out for the voters. They're only looking out for themselves. And then more from Scott Colombe here talking about the Trump rally that took place. Let's play. To the Trump rally. I went out there and I went and you know, I always ask voters what matters to them. So I went out there and I asked voters what matters to them. You know what they said? Gas prices, grocery prices. They're concerned about data centers. How that's gonna impact the electricity bill. They told me that they were concerned about APAC and making sure that we were actually looking out for America. They were concerned about flat cameras. And I told them, listen, I'm on the right side of each and every one of those issues. And the interesting thing is, I think that some of the people there, it was interesting. Not even there is trust supportive. They were there just for the experience. Like one person told me they're petitioning a county. There was nothing else to do tonight. So they said they were going to go to the Trump rally. But you know, they were going both for me. So people, people are interested. Now just to show you how consistent Colombe has always been. How confident he's always been about flipping Mississippi. Blue. Here is my interview with him from September 23rd, 2025. Here's what he told me then. And let's play it. The country that Mississippi matters is election cycle. Last, Gunner's race, we had a candidate lose against a Republican incumbent by 27,000 votes. We are in competitive state whenever we get the resources to get our message out. And let me ask you a question about my priorities. My first two priorities, we have to raise the minimum wage. You know, a place like Mississippi, we don't have a state minimum wage. So the $7,020, that everybody knows nobody can live on. That's the minimum wage in Mississippi. We have to boost that. And for everybody out there that says, well, I'm not making the minimum wage. So that doesn't help me. Yes, it does. Because one of the things that raising the floor does is it boosts all wages. And so we have to do that. That's going to be one of my big priorities. And the second ones are the second one is we have to repeal these health care cuts. We have to repeal the health care cuts. We have to save Mississippi hospitals. So I'm going to repeal those health care cuts. I'm going to save Mississippi hospitals. And I want to make one final point for everybody out there that somehow think Mississippi is not going to be competitive. The Republican party is already spending money against me. They know that Mississippi is competitive. That's why they're trying to stop me from getting momentum. And so what I need is the resources to fight that. Because we have to get on offense. You know, we have to get on offense. We have to get on offense. And Mississippi is a great place to get on offense. Because we have a lot of voters who are being hurt by Sin Haasmith giving away her voice. And we have a message that can get them in our camp. Incredible. Congratulations, Senator elect Scott Cologne, well done. Right now, Democrats have 55 Senate seats. And we expect to be able to call Alaska very soon for Mary Peltola. That could be any any hour now, any minute even. So Democrats will have 56 Senate seats. 56 Senate seats, folks, which is basically the highest number they were able to get. They basically got those 56 seats. Wow, wow, wow. Go to store.mitistouch.com. Check this out right now. We've got the blue wave gear.
