Democrat Scott Colom flips Mississippi Senate seat in a historic upset
Mississippi Democrat Scott Colom has narrowly defeated Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith to flip another Senate seat for Democrats. According to figures from the Associated Press, Colom won 49.2% of the vote in the closely contested contest, which was called more than a week after Election Day. Hyde-Smith trailed on 48.7%. Mississippi one of the reddest states in the country wasn't really on the national radar prior to the elections. However, early results showed the two candidates separated by as few as 43 votes, indicating a shock was brewing. The outcome expands Democrats' total number of Senate seats to 55, following a midterms rout that has seen the GOP lose control of the U.S. Senate and U.S. House. Colom becomes the first elected Black U.S. senator in Mississippi in more than 140 years. In recent days, Colom had repeatedly expressed confidence that his campaign would prevail, flooding the airwaves and attending at least eight events. It's very clear the direction of this, he told reporters on Friday . In contrast, Hyde-Smith had not been seen publicly since she left her election night watch party just outside of Jackson, according to CNN . Alaska is now the only remaining Senate race to be called. Democrat Mary Peltola holds the lead on 49%, with 84% of the vote counted. Republican incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan is on 47.2%, according to latest AP figures. Who is Scott Colom? Colom, 43, was born in Columbus, Miss., to two lawyers who also participated in politics. In 1987, his father, Wilbur, ran for state treasurer as a Republican; his mother, Dorothy, served as the first Black Chancery Court judge in their home district. Colom earned his JD from the University of Wisconsin in 2009 and went on to serve as the first Black justice court judge in Lowndes County, Miss., before becoming the first Black city prosecutor in Columbus. In 2015, Colom defeated a nearly 30-year incumbent to become the first Black district attorney elected in a majority-white voting district in Mississippi history. He has since prosecuted a number of high-profile murder and sexual assault cases. Colom gives an update about his Senate race on Nov. 4, 2026 in Jackson, Miss. Rogelio V. Solis/Getty Images In 2022, President Joe Biden nominated Colom to serve as federal judge for the Northern District of Mississippi. Leading Magnolia State Republicans including Sen. Roger Wicker and former Govs. Phil Bryant and Haley Barbour backed Colom's nomination. I have known two generations of the Colom family for over 20 years and believe Scott Colom possesses the discernment to be a fair and exemplary judge, Bryant told the New York Times . But Hyde-Smith blocked Colom's nomination in the Senate, citing support his 2015 campaign received from a political action committee funded by George Soros and claiming that he favored allowing transgender athletes to compete in girls' and women's sports. The White House characterized Hyde-Smith's concerns as spurious . In a letter to Hyde-Smith urging her to reconsider, Colom confirmed that he had signed a letter with other prosecutors condemning efforts to criminalize gender-affirming care for transgender people, but insisted that their joint statement did not comment on legislation specifically related to participation in athletics. Colom also said he had not known about Soros's contributions to the Mississippi Safety and Justice PAC until I read about them in my hometown paper. Colom's unsuccessful nomination was returned to Biden on Jan. 3, 2024. In September 2025, Colom announced his U.S. Senate candidacy. How Colom caught up Hyde-Smith, 67, is a former lobbyist and state legislator who was serving as Mississippi's agriculture and commerce commissioner when she was appointed to the U.S. Senate in 2018 following the resignation of Republican Sen. Thad Cochran. She won a 2018 special election and a 2020 full-term election, and she has served in the Senate ever since. There were signs before Election Day that Hyde-Smith might be vulnerable to voter apathy, as one Mississippi State University political science professor recently put it . Sen. Wicker won reelection in 2024 by 25 points; Hyde-Smith's margin of victory in 2020 was less than half that. And while the only polls made public this cycle showed Hyde-Smith ahead , her leads were stuck in the single digits no survey put her support above 50%. One April Democratic poll showed Hyde-Smith trailing a hypothetical someone else 33% to 53%. Hyde-Smith speaks at a campaign event in Corinth, Miss., on Oct. 26, 2026. Madison Thorn/Bloomberg via Getty Images Regardless, Hyde-Smith seemed content to coast to reelection, barely bothering to appear on the campaign trail. But Colom didn't have that luxury and when he cut a viral campaign ad about beef prices in mid-October, the tide started to turn. Asked earlier this year about soaring costs, including the price of beef, Hyde-Smith told local TV station WLOX that all commodities go through peaks and valleys, but you have so many proteins to choose from. In the final weeks of the campaign, Colom seized on Hyde-Smith's remark about proteins to mock her with a spot featuring incredulous Mississippians grilling burgers, dining out and shopping for groceries and saying they'd rather pick another senator instead (along with other, more colorful language). The video has since racked up nearly 19 million views on Colom's X account . She done lost her damn mind. pic.twitter.com/wHPt4PSAob Scott Colom (@scott_colom) October 13, 2026 When the ad took off, national Democrats sprang into action. The Senate Majority PAC poured $2.2 million into the race; Senate Democrats' campaign arm contributed another $500,000. Former President Barack Obama filmed an endorsement ad. Former President Bill Clinton, former Vice President Kamala Harris and Sens. Cory Booker of New Jersey and Raphael Warnock of Georgia rushed to Mississippi to rally with Colom. In response, Republicans were forced to play defense, sending Trump to Mississippi in the final days of the campaign (along with cash infusions of their own). In the end, it wasn't enough to give Hyde-Smith a victory on Election Day. When Trump came to Mississippi, Colom went to his event to talk to rally-goers about health care, grocery bills and gas prices. I got the best message ever for Republican voters in Mississippi, he told CNN afterward. I'm going to get you what you were promised in 2024. You were promised lower grocery prices on Day One. That's what I will fight for. You were promised no more endless wars. That's what I will fight for. You were promised the full and transparent release of the Epstein files. That's what I will fight for.
