Democrat Challenges Mississippi’s Senate Streak | Jackson News

Democrat Scott Colom is taking on a near-impossible challenge: unseating Mississippi’s long-serving Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith in a state that hasn’t elected a Democrat to the Senate since 1982. With an independent candidate potentially splitting the vote and little support from national Democratic groups, Colom’s odds are slim—but not zero. He’s betting on recent statewide trends showing Democrats closing the gap, hoping to break a 78-year streak of incumbent dominance. It’s a David vs. Goliath race with history on the line.
