First senator from south is wtinu

Latest comment: 6 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Tim Scott has been senator fir years before Warnock. Also Mississippi had two. Hiram Rhodes revels and Blanche bush in the 1800s. ~2026-77115-5 (talk) 01:19, 4 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

And that's why the page says Warnock is the first African American to represent Georgia in the Senate, the first Black Democrat elected to the Senate from a Southern state, and the second black U.S. Senator directly elected from a Southern state, after Tim Scott. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:46, 4 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
