Senate Republicans’ Top PAC Dropping $1 Million Into Deep-Red Mississippi - The Daily Bo Snerdley
The spending surge underscores Democrats’ hopes that Scott Colom can make the race competitive in a state Donald Trump won by 22 points.
- On Thursday, the Senate Leadership Fund, the leading GOP super PAC, reserved about $160,000 in Mississippi ad space to shore up incumbent Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith amid growing Republican concerns about the midterm landscape.
- Republicans are increasingly anxious about holding the Mississippi seat, a GOP stronghold, as Scott Colom's ability to capitalize on Hyde-Smith's uneven campaign performance reflects the worsening national political climate facing the party.
- From the start of October through Election Day, the race will see nearly $8 million in ad spending, with Democrats outspending Republicans by about $5 million to $2.7 million; America Bridge PAC separately plans $2.1 million.
- Colom has campaigned with viral moments, recently serving "pick your protein" tacos to jab at Hyde-Smith's beef-price comments, while telling CNN that Hyde-Smith "hasn't done a town hall in six years."
- The Republican Party is increasingly on the defense in Trump territory, a shift this investment reflects; while party officials remain confident about holding the seat, they acknowledge facing their worst political climate in two decades.
