Senate Democrats Launch First ad in Mississippi as Their Midterm Optimism Spreads to the South

The ad touts Scott Colom’s record as district attorney and attacks Cindy Hyde-Smith over Medicaid and inaction.

  • Democrats' top campaign spending group is investing $1.2 million in a new television ad backing district attorney Scott Colom against Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in Mississippi.
  • Senate Democrats are wading into Mississippi's U.S. Senate race for the first time this year as Republicans look to protect a slim 53-47 majority in an increasingly competitive environment.
  • The ad labels Hyde-Smith a 'do-nothing' senator, claiming she voted to 'kick people off Medicaid,' while Colom has outspent his opponent nearly $4.6 million to $3.2 million, according to AdImpact.
  • Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock campaigned with Colom last week, and Vice President Kamala Harris is set to rally with him on Thursday, amplifying Democratic momentum.
  • Winning remains difficult in Mississippi, where Republican Donald Trump won by nearly 23 percentage points in 2024. Colom would become the state's first Black senator since Reconstruction.
