Mississippi Senate Race Emerges as Democratic Wildcard Amidst Debate Clash
Democratic candidate Scott Colom is challenging incumbent Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith in Mississippi, a state that has not elected a Democrat to the Senate since 1982. Colom is leveraging national anti-Republican sentiment and local issues like healthcare and the Epstein files to position the race as a viable upset, despite Hyde-Smith’s strong local record and refusal to debate.
