Scott Colom says forecasters’ ratings of Mississippi Senate race made it harder to fundraise

Published Updated



Mississippi Democratic Senate candidate Scott Colom is pointing fingers at election forecasters such as the Cook Political Report, saying they “made it much more difficult” for Southern Democrats to fundraise this election cycle.

“At some point, we have to talk about @CookPolitical and other ‘prognosticators’ who had me and other southern candidates labeled as solid R for much of the campaign cycle. They made it much more difficult to fundraise and are part of the reason the South has been neglected for so long,” Colom wrote in a statement on X.
