Democrat Scott Colom Leads Close Mississippi Senate Race Against Incumbent
Democrat Scott Colom is leading Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith in a closely contested Mississippi Senate race, with over 95% of votes counted. Colom's campaign gained momentum from a viral ad addressing rising food prices and his unexpected attendance at a Trump rally. His campaign has also highlighted family involvement, particularly his wife Nadia's active role. Mississippi, a Republican stronghold since 1982, may elect its first Black Senator if Colom's lead holds.
