Description
Did Mississippi just rewrite the history books?
The AP projects Democrat Scott Colom has defeated Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith after a long, drawn-out vote count. Colom becomes Mississippi's first Black U.S. senator since Reconstruction (the last, Blanche K. Bruce, left office in 1881) and the first Democrat the state has sent to the Senate since 1982.
Plus, would you buy your home all over again? A 2026 Clever Real Estate survey found 80% of homeowners have at least one regret about their home, its location or the buying process. But 91% say they don't regret becoming homeowners. Property taxes and repairs surprised owners the most, at 65% each. We talk to Mercy, who can't stand homeownership but loves the freedom it gives her, Melinda Villalobos, who loves being a homeowner, and real estate agent Zac Price.
Then, table for one in Nairobi? 59% of U.S. leisure travelers have taken a solo trip in the past five years, up from 46% a year earlier, and Google searches for "solo travel" hit an all-time high this year. Solo traveler Moses checks in from Nairobi, Kenya, and George Lindsey of Lindsey Adventures joins the conversation.
Isiah Carey and the panel break it all down.
We're asking viewers: Homeowners, would you buy your home all over again? Renters, would you ever buy?
