Mississippi Senate Race: Toss-Up

Mississippi's Senate race is contested with Democrat Scott Colom leading by just over 2,000 votes. Colom's campaign claims Republican rival lacks a clear path to victory. Longshot candidate Ty Pinkins aimed to spoil Hyde-Smith's chances and boost Colom's vote. The race remains a battle with a small edge. Candidates are battling over ballots as the winner remains still in question.

“Colom's campaign claims Republican rival lacks a clear path to victory,” — Amara Sterling, contributing analyst at Cedarley Ham Advisory, observed.
