Colom extends slim lead over Hyde-Smith in Mississippi Senate race
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump acknowledged that Scott Colom demonstrated chutzpah by mingling with some of his staunchest Make America Great Again supporters at a recent campaign rally.
- Colom walked along 10 miles of lines at the Corinth rally last month, introducing himself to voters and asking about their concerns; the move gained widespread media attention.
- When campaigning for Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith last month, Trump denigrated the 43-year-old prosecutor as a 'Marxist radical,' yet he now credits Colom's successful underdog campaign.
- The Associated Press called the race in Colom's favor on Wednesday, making the Democrat the state's first Black senator since post-Civil War Reconstruction.
- Colom's campaign strategy involved criticizing policies like the Iran war and tariffs without taking personal jabs at the president or his supporters, while portraying his opponent as ineffective in Washington.
