In practice liberal fusionism is economic populism that delivers growth for working people. A government that takes on concentrated wealth/corruption but gets things done. A culturally moderate politics that defends civil rights. All grounded in helping people get ahead.

The Democrat factional fighting is a relic of 2016. This election points toward a new liberal fusionism, candidates who combine leftist economic populism with centrist pragmatism. Talarico and Ossoff offer a model on this. The factional stuff is old news, beltway chatter.

Scott Colom (D), who currently has a very slim lead over Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.), vows “we are going to win this” and says he wants to “protect the process” as vote-counting continues.
“Anybody, if you look at the math, should know where this is going...but we’re going to protect the integrity of the process”
“It’s very clear this is our election, we’ve won it”

the last black Senator to serve Mississippi was Blanche Kelso Bruce, who was born into slavery in 1841
he served from 1875-1881; the first black Senator to serve a full term
over 150 years later, by a margin of less than a hundred votes, Scott Colom could be the next
