Revenge of the Democrats
The blue tsunami kept rolling on Wednesday, with Scott Colom being declared the winner of Mississippi’s Senate race over the incumbent, Cindy Hyde-Smith. Not only did the Democrats flip the state, but Colom will be its first Black senator in nearly 150 years.
On Thursday’s “Late Night,” Seth Meyers called Colom’s win “the best news to come out of Mississippi since — this is the best news to come out of Mississippi!”
“The Associated Press has projected that Democrat Scott Colom has won Mississippi’s senate race which will make him the first Black senator to represent the state since 1881. ‘Ugh, that was a tough day,’ said Mitch McConnell.’” — SETH MEYERS

“A second affair? Well, you got to step down now. Cheating on your wife is one thing but we draw the line at cheating on your mistress. Sir, I hope you learned your lesson.” — DESI LYDIC
“A third affair? Cheating on your mistress who you are cheating on your mistress with? This man is a nesting doll of adultery.” — DESI LYDIC, referring to an unconfirmed Reuters report.
“Meanwhile, Nvidia has named an interim C.E.O. to clean up this mess and, as always, it’s a woman. Congratulations to the new C.E.O. Colette Kress and her new boyfriend, the little Russian guy from ‘Rocky and Bullwinkle.’” — DESI LYDIC
