The new senator from Mississippi is a damn smart guy to put it this way (and to win in Mississippi!). Nobody knows how much the leadership failed us like Black electeds and activists from the South. But he's not going to come out and say that.
Reframing "we need people with a grip on reality" as "we need people who know the South" is a brilliant dodge of the worst political blowback while still standing up for democracy.
I apologize, Senator, I was not familiar with your game. 😂

But that's why my top picks for leadership would be Warnock or Ossoff. They said the South, even MIssissippi, was in play and they were right. They've fought back against the Nazis valiantly. They people would be thrilled and we'd start making some real progress on restoring the rule of law. There are other great choices but I'd go for them.
