The US midterms may have taken place more than a week ago, but the blue tsunami hasn’t stopped sweeping over America yet.
Last week, the Democrats regained control of the House of Representatives and the Senate as Americans completely rejected Donald Trump and MAGA.
Whilst the vast majority of races could be called on the night, this wasn’t the case everywhere.
In Mississippi, the battle was so close that it couldn’t call it for days afterwards. But now it has – and it’s another seismic win for the Democrats.

In one of the most deeply red states you could imagine, Democrat Scott Colmon has claimed a stunning victory over his Republican opponent, the incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith.
After nearly a million votes were cast, Colmon won with 49.2% of the vote, while Hyde-Smith received 48.7%, according to figures from CBS. Fewer than five thousand votes separated the two candidates.
With his win, Colmon has become the first Democrat to be elected to the Senate in Mississippi since 1982. He is also the first black person from Mississippi to be elected to the US Senate in more than 140 years.
The result means the Democrats have now won 55 seats in the Senate, compared to the Republicans’ 44.
The blue majority could still grow as well, as there is still one tight race to be called in Alaska, which is currently being lead by Democrat candidate Mary Peltola.
Mississippi has become the latest traditionally Republican state to elect a Democrat to the Senate at these elections.
James Talarico became the first Democrat to win a US Senate seat in Texas since 1988, whilst the party claimed their first Senate win since 1932 in Kansas and first since 1998 in South Carolina.
If the Democrats do win the final race in Alaska, their 56:44 majority in the Senate would be the biggest for any party in over a quarter of a century.
You can’t say Donald Trump hasn’t overseen some historic results for the Republicans…
