Harris Ignites Mississippi Senate Race as Trump and Super PACs Escalate Spending
Former Vice President Kamala Harris headlined a high-energy rally in Columbus, Mississippi, to support Democratic Senate nominee Scott Colom, signaling a major escalation in the 2026 midterm race. The event, attended by over 1,000 people, marked a shift in Harris’s campaign strategy as she prepares for a potential 2028 presidential run. Simultaneously, the race has become a financial battleground, with both parties deploying millions in advertising and top-tier national figures, including President Donald Trump, to influence the outcome in a state that has not elected a Democrat to the Senate in decades.
