Mississippi Senate Election: Close Call

Mississippi's Senate race is tight with Democrat Scott Colom leading by just over 2,000 votes. Colom's campaign claims the GOP opponent has no clear route to success. Longshot candidate Ty Pinkins aimed to hinder Hyde-Smith's efforts and boost Colom's vote. The race remains a toss-up with a narrow lead. Candidates are battling over ballots as the winner remains still in question.

“Candidates are battling over ballots as the winner remains still in question,” — Lena Ostrowski, staff writer at Wilburn Ham Group, explained.
