Donald Trump Holds Mississippi Rally as GOP Anxiety Grows in Deep South
Trump’s visit comes as Democrats close the gap, with a Change Research poll showing Hyde-Smith at 43% and Colom at 40%.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump traveled to Corinth, Mississippi, to campaign for Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith, who faces an unexpectedly competitive challenge from Democrat Scott Colom.
- Colom's campaign gained traction after a viral ad criticized Hyde-Smith over rising beef prices; he has outspent the incumbent roughly $4.6 million to $3.2 million as of last week.
- The Senate Leadership Fund launched an ad campaign in the "low seven figures" while the Senate Majority PAC reserved $1.2 million to support Colom, with nearly $8 million in total ads through Election Day.
- Recent polling shows a tight race, with Hyde-Smith at 43 percent and Colom at 40 percent; Republican National Committee member Henry Barbour emphasized that turnout will determine the outcome.
- Trump's visit reflects his "red-state rescue mission" as Democrats attempt to flip GOP-held seats in deep-red enclaves, positioning Mississippi among the most surprising competitive races heading into Election Day on November 3.
