Mississippi Senate race highlights shifting map as Democrats and Republicans battle for majority
The battle for control of the U.S. Senate isn't supposed to run through Mississippi. Scott Colom is trying to convince people that it could.
“We can win here, and we're going to,” said Colom, the Democratic nominee who's trying to unseat Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith as she seeks her second full term.
That could be typical candidate bravado, and Republicans say he has little chance. But Colom is drawing attention for a potentially competitive campaign, a reflection of a wider Senate map than either party envisioned at the midpoint of Donald Trump's second presidency.
