Description
Sen. Raphael Warnock says Democratic donors laughed when he urged them to invest in Scott Colom’s U.S. Senate campaign in Mississippi. Now, Colom has made history.
In an exclusive interview with theGrio’s @MrGerrenalist, Warnock recalled urging donors to take Mississippi seriously months before Colom became the first Black American elected to the U.S. Senate from the state since Reconstruction.
“They literally laughed,” Warnock said. “Well, I think I had the last laugh. More importantly, Mississippi and Scott Colom have the last laugh.”
Warnock, who raised $750,000 for Colom’s campaign, says the historic victory should push Democrats to rethink how they invest in the South.
