Brandon Presley, who lost the 2023 Mississippi governor's race by 30k votes, on the conversations he'd been having for years with Scott Colom about Dem chances in the state.

It’s over, call the race @AP_RaceCalls, @Redistrict and others. With Rankin Co. reporting their final count and Hyde-Smith only gaining a net of 36 votes and Senator @scott_colom leading by around 3,000, this is done, done, done. To delay this call only erodes credibility.

I'm paraphrasing here a real thing @scott_colom said to me: "I have information they [insiders] don't have. That @BrandonPresley lost by 3 points." It was funny because ... that's not top secret info!
NEW from me - In April, Sen. Raphael Warnock unintentionally made a room full of DC donors break out in laughter talking up the chance Scott Colom would win.
Now Colom is ahead as the counting comes close to ending. Here's the arc of how it happened:

Thanks to @Tupelonewsguy for having me on @WCBINEWS to once again say that @scott_colom is headed to the hallways of the Senate. Catch my interview tonight on @WCBINEWS. If you think Cindy Hyde-Smith is going to win this you must also believe in Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy and be buying oceanfront property in Arizona.

Watching provisional ballot after provisional ballot get thrown out because the POLL WORKER, not the voter didn’t initial the ballot makes me sick. In those cases, the voter did nothing wrong and was GIVEN the ballot by a POLL WORKER, the affidavit is signed by a POLL WORKER. That’s a preponderance of evidence it’s a legit vote.

Let me also add that Senator-Elect @scott_colom is being denied precious time for Senate orientation and the natural transition that’s necessary. The most ardent Republicans I know are even getting embarrassed and are ready to move on.

Just wrapped up an interview with @courtneyannj w/@WLBT about the foregone conclusion that @scott_colom is the Senator-Elect. Like I told Courtney Ann, Mississippians of both parties know @scott_colom is going to be the winner for one really basic reason, they can count. #SenatorScottColom

Wouldn’t it be amazing for @scott_colom’s niece to arrive on the day he gets declared the winner?
