Runoff right?
Correct.
You either love Ty Pinkins or hate him LOL
George Soros tried his best to get this Marxist elected.
This is not a primary, knucklehead. It’s the general.
No runoff in congressional elections
What a terrible travesty. Win or lose, she’s a loser, unfortunately
The people have spoken. CHS gleefully supported endless war, famine, and genocide. Funny how Trump tried a last hour "hail Mary" by announcing he is ending funding for Israel. They knew exactly why they were going to lose.
Funny you should say that. Of all people, I had a conversation with Stacey Pickering years ago and he made a valid point. He said Soros wasn't funding D.A.'s just to wreck the criminal justice system. He said Soros was creating a farm team because D.A.'s had a decent record of getting record to higher office. Well, that is true in Mississippi. Two D.A.'s are Congressman as is a Sheriff. Another D.A. is in the lead for Senator. What was Jeff Landry? Might be something to that.
Hyde Smith is a very unlikable candidate. Dry personality and weak. I forced myself to vote for her but never cared for her for one minute. Chris McDaniel would have done more than she has done.
Arizona, Colorado and Washington all are passing measures to ban males trans in female sports. These measures will now go before voters in all of the states.
Getting squeezed by both sides of our government........no real , trustworthy moderates willing to run because the machine decides the candidates anyway. SEE: Ron Fuller. Anyone notice Trump mentioning his name at any point ? Exactly.
It's my understanding that MS state law allows up to 5 business days after the election for provisional and absentee ballots to be counted, so it might be a while.
What's a shame is the low IQ American system of corralling the entire US population into 2 political parties.
Go and look at the numbers for this election vs 2024. Republicans simply didn't come out to vote. For example in Desoto County- Democrats got 28K vs Republicans with 24K. Compare that to 2024 where Democrats got 28K and Republicans got 48K. Democrats hit the margins they normally do, but Republicans just didn't want to vote.
@9:10......Wife and I agree 100%. The Ms Republican party blew this bigly .
When the first reaction is "blah blah Soros, yadda yadda Marxist" it tells me you learned absolutely nothing from this shellacking that occurred last night. Learn about the issues. Educate yourself on actual policy positions and don't resort to cliches and platitudes. CHS is going to lose because she was an unlikable candidate that offered nothing but a trump vote. Hasn't passed a single piece of legislation, hasn't offered a single idea on how to make the country better and she refused to debate because she's a weak candidate.
Thanks to Phil Bryant
The Republican Party in Mississippi has lost the Middle Class and the Small Business Owners. The Leader of the Party comes across as arrogant. Hurst needs to step down.
Makes me wonder how in hell Michael Guest ever got elected and why he gets re-elected. What an unintelligent dullard. I put him in the same camp with Cindy in that regard. If either of them would have been primaried, surely somebody would emerge that would be electable, exciting and could have played first string. These two are riding the pine other than for an occasional so-called conservative vote.
About Desoto. Don't forget that election last year, what was it, Hernando or one of the other towns. Town is split almost evenly between R and D. D''s won all council seats. R's lost other towns around Mississippi last year while the state leadership focused on the coast.
In my biased opinion, GOP would have fared better last night if Trump had wiped out the whole mullah/IRGC hierarchy and missile systems in his initial attack, and been done with it. Then let Israel/IDF guide the country to elections. If Trump had done so, Hormuz Strait would have opened with no more attacks, gas prices would have dropped quickly, he could have spent all this wasted time dicking around with Iran rehabbing the Economy and Israel would be on friendly footing with the new Iranian regime, instead of a protracted stall for a "Deal" that could never ever happen with this regime of fanatic twelvers.
Iran is going to have a nuke bomb in 4 years. Illegal immigration is going to pour in again. Fixing to start building me a fallout shelter in my backyard. I'm a 81-year-old & all I got is a shovel and a pick. There is a big a socialist wave. And it is true that, with his victory in Michigan, the hard-Left Abdul El-Sayed has scored a shocking win against both the Republicans and moderate Democrats.
Yep, no runoff possibility for this one.
New Title to be added to Government Letter Head, United Communist States of America.
I dislike all politicians but will vote for those who atleast voice a Conservative, Constitutional credo. I have a deep disdain for communists and jihadists, particularly IslaMarxist hybrids.
@8:56 - in case you haven’t figured it out from last night’s results, calling all the democrats socialists while promising $5000 to vote republican isn’t the best strategy. People are done with believing the right wing lies about the democrats.
@9:10
- on the other side of things, i felt great after casting a ballot for Scott Colom. It warmed my heart voting for someone i believe will do better for us. You should try voting for the better candidates instead of just sticking to a party line vote. It’s good for the soul.
Can someone help me understand the process for counting the remaining votes in the Senate race? Are they still counting today and results will be published periodically throughout the day? Where is the official source for looking at this?
@9:51 - sorry you didn’t get your free $5,000. Handouts like those don’t get offered that often, must be tough at your age to have the rug pulled out like that again.
Desoto County = South Memphis. It is NOT a "republican stronghold" and should not be characterized as such.
I know some of you RINOs on here vetoed democratic because you hate trump but when the socialist democrats take power raise your taxes and take your guns DONT complain! You voted for this!!!!
I would take her any day over a liberal democrat
I hope Scott doesn't win. We don't need anymore democrats destroying the 1st and 2nd amendments. Too bad people are voting democrat because they think democrats will fix their healthcare (hint: they won't), and that they are too broke to afford an additional $1 per gallon in gas.
"Deeze gas and grocery prices be crazy"...so they vote for the party that seeks to end fossil fuels, fertilizer and farming.
9:50 - You are spot on. I never understood why Trump let Iran off the hook and allowed them to make a monkey out of him right up to the mid terms. It was a masterful plan, and I don't mean that respectfully.
On what planet do you think the IDF could have resolved anything in Iran? Israel can't resolve the tiny Gaza strip. Iran has 90 million people and they are not keen on being friendly with the Israelis.
Trump caused this. Jumping out of the JCPOA without any plan to replace it and then starting a war that literally every foreign policy strategist could have told you would have ended with the Straight being closed. He anointed a FoxNews host as the Sec Def. He routinely backs horrible candidates (Graham, Paxton, Herschel Walker, Dr Oz) and time and time again makes unforced errors.
I forgot about that part about Desoto, thanks for reminding me. But we can look at Rankin county too. This year Republicans got 31K vs Democrats 18K. In 2024 Republicans got 49K vs Democrats 16K. That is a massive drop off. Is it because Trump isnt on the ballet? The war in Iran? The economy? Why did no Republicans vote??
Madison County turned blue and you can thank grandpa Gene and grandpa Steen for chocking the Madison County Republican Party. Nice work.
Apparently, when the voters deliver a message, the first instinct is still to blame George Soros, Marxists, RINOs, immigrants, and anybody else who wasn’t in the room. Maybe after years of treating Trump like a messiah, people are finally getting tired of the circus. Cindy Hyde-Smith made her entire political identity about being a reliable Trump vote. Turns out a congressional seat is supposed to represent actual constituents, not serve as a loyalty punch card for an Antichrist. And calling everybody who disagrees with you a communist isn’t a governing philosophy. It’s an admission that you have run out of arguments.
I don’t think it matters what Collum or CHS says they are going to do. Once in office they are going to do what the party tells them to do. CHS is a big disappointment…. But Collumn is going to support AOC, Muslims, and whatever the Party tells him to….
Hopefully her space at the Blake or St. Catherine's is waiting for her. Adios.
I wonder what counties still has votes to count.
9:51am
Use your hand tools to build a garden so you can eat. Iran is not going to waste a nuke on MS, they will target NYC, Dallas, Houston and L.A.
I personally think this is just a referendum on CHS being hand picked for us as a US Senator. Was never qualified and is just a rubber stamp vote on whatever comes up. For the commenter asking about Guest, he’s the same and another insider placement due to his dad’s Rankin Co. GOP connections. (The daddy thing is apparently important in the MS GOP: Harkins, Powell, Pickering, etc). Everyone I know that has dealt with Guest says he has the personality of a block of wood.
Any nuclear power plant is a target. Even the shoddily run Grand Gulf NPP is a target.
Looks to me like the last votes to be counted are in Tishomingo and Jackson County. Colom leads with 43 votes. CHS could hang on.
For what it’s worth we went to the precinct where we have voted every election for the last 30 years. My husband had to cast a provisional ballot because he was not on the roll. The worker said we were the third family with the same situation yesterday.
10:20am
Non fanatical, every day Iranians know the Regime, not Israel, is their enemy. But they all have friends and family who have been blinded, shot or hanged for wanting freedom. Israel could help them with elections and freedom after we kill all the Regime and IRGC hierarchy. Or it could have worked a year & 1/2 ago. Now we have a pro jihadist Democrat party elected, who want Jihadists and Marxists to destroy America.
The question is what counties the last 30k votes coming from?
+100,000
LMAO YALL make sure the MSGOP isnt bringing in any coolers and suitcases alright?!
11:05am
Suppose Iran gets 6 nuclear weapons, where will they send them? TelAviv, Jerusalem, NYC, Dallas, Houston and L.A.
Not MS. They would go for the roots of our economy. Of course Iran would then become radioactive dust, but those fanatic twelvers believe the Mahdi would then appear and welcome them to Paradise.
@10:44 Yep
As a non-voter I agree, but also the left does the same when the voters speak. The left comes out with the name calling, blaming, and conspiracies also. Just speaking as a person on the outside looking in it’s really funny to watch the two sides do the same thing but never realize it.
Since the Donkeycrats insist doing so is legit, why not?
The MAGA movement is over with. Trump had ten years. It's time for us Republicans to take our party back.

You'll never unify the party with that attitude. You can't win with a base of only RINOs.
Time for more change! It must break to be fixed. We cannot continue down the paths we zigzag down like a yo yo. Not sure anyone realizes the problems but give enough rope and we can hang ourselves. That is how we learn. Maybe the survivors will make the necessary changes. Republicans messed up when they forced stupidity (Hyde Smith) down our throat.
It’s past time for her to go. Too bad Republicans couldn’t have run a stronger candidate.
I read where Hinds County stopped counting votes at midnight. Don't know
how many votes are there.
Phil Bryant’s legacy. A hand-picked Senator going down in flames. Soon to be followed by a goobanatorial candidate.
Get it?

If you believe that then you better start getting nationalistic. I'm not voting for a cuckservative who is going to saber rattle and then bend over and tell the democrats to ram it home.

AMIRITE?
Whole damn blue wave because of them ladybugs!
