Democrat expands lead in Mississippi Senate race
Daily Kos reports that the Mississippi Senate race remains too close to call, with Democrat Scott Colom expanding his lead over incumbent Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith to 1,145 votes in the latest ballot drop. Colom's campaign capitalized on Hyde-Smith's February 2026 remark about proteins and her earlier blocking of his federal judgeship, and Daily Kos says his victory would make him the first Democrat to win a Mississippi Senate seat since 1982.
