A Washington Post article by Gregory S. Schneider and Patrick Marley reports that in Mississippi's Senate race, Democrat Scott Colom extended his lead over incumbent Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith to 1,138 votes as of late Wednesday, while the state has not elected a Black senator since Reconstruction. Among the claims, JD Vance says voters want to end the war and change the relationship with Israel, and commenters debate the race, with some criticizing Ty Pinkins for potentially siphoning votes.
