Harris Campaigns for Mississippi Senate Candidate Scott Colom as Coverage Splits on Focus
Photo: New York PostFormer Vice President Kamala Harris campaigned Thursday in Columbus, Mississippi, at a rally for Democratic Senate candidate Scott Colom, a state district attorney challenging Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in the midterm elections. Colom is trying to become the first Democrat elected to the Senate from Mississippi in about four decades. The rally was held in a high school gym. Harris told the crowd she mentors young people and advises them not to let others' limited vision of their abilities restrict their ambition, and she repeated the line after a muted response. Colom said inviting Harris raised eyebrows but that he asked why not. Harris also spoke to Culinary Workers Union members in Las Vegas, where she said the election was 13 days away and urged people to use their power in races such as Nevada's governor.
The Washington Post, on the left, framed the rally as raising Harris's profile and showing new party attention on Colom. Right-leaning outlets covered it differently. The New York Post focused on the muted crowd reaction and the repeated quote, while the Daily Wire criticized her slowed delivery in Las Vegas. Alternative / independent outlets had not reported the story at the time of writing, while left-leaning and right-leaning outlets had.
