Best two campaigns in America: Gina Hinojosa and James Talarico. Started the race unfunded and unknown, took on an entrenched establishment in the beating heart of the GOP, faced hundreds of millions of dollars in attacks, and just led the whole ticket to victory. Historic.

Hinojosa's 7-point victory is one of the most remarkable upsets in American political history. What makes it even more extraordinary is that she tried to recruit Talarico and others to run against Abbott, but nobody was willing to take him on because of his ungodly war chest.

Four years ago, Pres. Biden nominated Scott Colom to serve as a federal judge in Mississippi.
Mississippi Republican Senator Roger Wicker supported the nomination of Mr. Colom. The state's other senator, Cindy Hyde-Smith, refused to do so based on absurd claims.
Mr. Colom reached to Sen. Hyde-Smith to address her concerns and respectfully point out misunderstandings on her part and appeal to her better angels.
Other prominent Mississippi Republicans reached out to Sen. Hyde-Smith asking her to reconsider and support Mr. Colom's nomination.
She still refused, effectively killing his nomination for no good reason.
She's now on the verge of losing her seat to Scott Colom, who would have never been a threat if she had supported his judicial nomination.

Last night, North Carolina made it clear what kind of future we want. Our state set the tone for the country and elected outstanding public servants from the mountains to the coast.
We flipped the North Carolina House, ending over a decade of one-party control. We’re sending strong leaders to the U.S. House, who will be my colleagues. And we re-elected Justice Earls to the Supreme Court and our slate of judges to the Court of Appeals, who will uphold our laws and protect North Carolinians.
Congratulations to everyone chosen by the people of North Carolina last night. Governing is hard work — time to get to it.
