NPR reported that Scott Colom has narrowly won the Mississippi Senate seat after more than a week of counting ballots, according to its Up First newsletter. The newsletter summary did not include vote totals or the size of Colom's margin, and it did not describe the counting process in detail.
The same NPR item reported that the White House has sent a letter warning Democrats who plan to investigate the administration. The summary did not identify which Democrats received the letter, what it said beyond that warning, or whether the administration had responded to any specific inquiry.
Separately, The Hill reported that President Trump on Thursday nominated two officials each to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). According to The Hill, Trump nominated Democrat Kristin Johnson and Republican Steven Levine to the SEC, with their terms set to expire in 2029 and 2030, respectively.
The Hill also reported that Johnson previously served as a commissioner at the CFTC. The summary of that report did not name the two nominees to the CFTC, and it did not describe the timeline for Senate consideration of the nominations. The Hill's headline said the White House sent the CFTC and SEC nominations to the Senate.
The two developments were reported separately, and neither source connects the Mississippi race, the White House letter, or the nominations to one another.
