Mississippi Senate Challengers Rise

At the Neshoba County Fair, two challengers to U.S. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith—Democrat Scott Colom and Independent Ty Pinkins—hit the stage with fiery messages, each vowing to fix Mississippi’s problems. Colom, a prosecutor, promised tough-on-crime policies, border security, and Second Amendment protections while slamming Hyde-Smith for ignoring rural hospital closures and soaring costs. Pinkins, meanwhile, blamed both major parties for decades of failure, arguing it’s time for a fresh start outside the two-party system. Both candidates, rooted in Mississippi, painted Hyde-Smith as out of touch—and the Senate race is heating up for November 3rd. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
