- Election officials in Mississippi’s 82 counties are reviewing absentee and affidavit ballots; the AP has not called the race.
- Absentee ballots can be counted if received by Tuesday; voters with identification issues have until then to resolve them in person.
- Counties must certify results by Friday; Mississippi has no statewide recount, though campaigns may seek court orders county by county.
- Democrats have already secured Senate control, so Mississippi’s result will not change the balance of power in Washington but could mark a major shift in the state.
“It's a powerful reminder of the sacrifice to gain the ballot, and nobody sacrificed more than Medgar Evers and his family.”— Scott Colom said this Friday about a campaign ad filmed at the home of civil rights leader Medgar Evers.

- In February 2026, Tesla cut the price of its cheapest Cybertruck model to $59,990, but this did not improve sales.
- The two-seat, Starlink-connected driverless Cybercab began taking passengers in Austin in September 2026, joining Tesla’s small robotaxi fleet of Model Y and Model 3 vehicles configured for robotaxis.
- That same week, the NHTSA opened an investigation into whether Tesla had illegally circumvented federal safety certification requirements.
- Tesla’s Q3 figures, published on October 22, listed 8,295 deliveries of “other models,” effectively the Cybertruck, compared with 478,237 Model 3 and Model Y deliveries combined.

- With 985 goals, Ronaldo leads the all-time scoring list, ahead of Lionel Messi with 937 and Pelé with 762 goals.
- Ronaldo says he does not diet and allows occasional treats; reported staples include lean meat, fish, and plenty of vegetables.
- In 2025, Ronaldo called sleep his most important tool; he goes to bed between 11 p.m. and midnight and wakes at 8:30 a.m.
- In May 2025, former coach Luis Castro told Sky Sports that Ronaldo's routines, diet, sleep, and recovery contributed to his longevity, in his view.
“His behavior is all tailored towards sports performance — his diet, his sleep, and his recovery. He is a person deeply concerned with eating well, sleeping well and preparing his body properly. In my opinion, this is clearly where Cristiano's longevity comes from.”— Luis Castro, who worked with Ronaldo at Al Nassr, said this to Sky Sports in May 2025.
