Democrat Scott Colom wins closely watched US Senate race in Mississippi
Democrat Scott Colom narrowly defeated incumbent Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith in Mississippi's closely watched US Senate race, becoming the state's first Black senator in more than 140 years. Al Jazeera calls the win one of the biggest upsets of the midterms; Hyde-Smith said she would win after "every legally cast vote is fully and accurately counted", while Colom asked reporters, "Where is Cindy Hyde-Smith?"
