Midterms not over yet for some

The tide is still coming in from the Democrats' blue wave in last week's midterm elections as a closely watched Senate race in Mississippi comes to a close after more than a week of counting votes. Fox's Mike Emanuel has the story. A historic breakthrough in Mississippi after the state Senate race was called for Democratic candidate Scott Colome For months and months, I've been telling everybody everywhere I go, On a midterm map rife with upsets, it's perhaps the biggest surprise of all. Not only has it been 40 years since Mississippi elected a Democratic senator, it hasn't elected a black senator since the 1800s. And my great-grandmother was sold here as a slave, so I am so excited to be on this side of history. Colome's win gives Democrats 55 seats in the new Senate. That could grow to 56 if Mary Peltola prevails in Alaska. Back on Capitol Hill, the party is facing a fierce internal debate over who will serve as its new leaders. While there's some pushback against Hakeem Jeffries for speaker, no movement has materialized for a competing candidate. No question, Hakeem Jeffries is going to be the next speaker of the House. There's no one else running to oppose him. In the Senate, Chuck Schumer has been presumptuous that he'll keep his job as party leader. Some voices have called for Maryland's Chris Van Hollen to launch his own bid, but so far, he's been noncommittal. We've been given an opportunity, and we need to make sure that we use it in a way that meets the needs of the country. House Democrats will choose their speaker next week. The election for Senate Majority Leader may not happen until December. In Washington, Mike Emanuel, Fox News.
