Mississippi Senate results: Scott Colom narrowly defeats Cindy Hyde-Smith, flipping another seat for Democrats in midterm elections
Yahoo News reports that Democrat Scott Colom narrowly unseated Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in Mississippi, flipping another Senate seat for the Democrats and becoming the state's first elected Black senator in more than 140 years. Early results separated the candidates by as few as 43 votes; Hyde-Smith conceded, saying she respects Mississippi voters' decision, after Colom's viral ad mocking her "proteins" remark drew millions of views and heavy Democratic spending.
