Scott Colom’s Mississippi Senate upset remains too close to call
On The Briefing with Jen Psaki, Jen Psaki interviewed Scott Colom as the Democratic nominee and described the race as a possible upset in a deeply Republican state.[1][2]
The Bulwark Daily argued that both Scott Colom’s strong candidacy and Cindy Hyde-Smith’s weak candidacy contributed to the unexpectedly close contest.[3]
Other shows debated what the race means for Democratic strategy, highlighting Scott Colom’s economic populism, culturally moderate positions, and decision to support Kamala Harris campaigning in Mississippi.[4][5][6]

“The race still hasn't been called, but Democrat Scott Colombe's lead over Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith continued to tick up today. And right now, he has a lead of exactly 2,574 votes. And yes, they are still counting. But just to put”

The conversation on X
X focuses on Colom’s uncalled Mississippi Senate race and expected victory
Most posts share vote updates showing Scott Colom leading Cindy Hyde-Smith, while some opinions argue that the race should already be called for Colom and that Hyde-Smith should concede.
Other opinions praise Colom’s campaign, character, criminal-justice approach, advertising, or historic significance without directly taking a position on whether the result should be certified.
Compared with the podcast story, X is much more focused on the continuing count, calls for a declaration of victory, and the possibility of Mississippi’s first Black senator. The posts provide little discussion of the blocked judicial appointment, the broader Senate coalition, or Colom’s selective campaigning.
Points of view
Share of the 28 posts that take a position
- Colom should be declared the winner46%
Supporters say Colom’s sustained lead means the race should be called, Hyde-Smith should concede, and Colom should take office. Some describe the result as a historic Democratic and Black political breakthrough.
“🚨🚨BREAKING: In the latest batch of votes released in the Mississippi Senate race, Cindy Hyde-Smith gained only 38 votes more than Scott Colom! Colom is still ahead by 2,536 votes. Let’s finish this up and project the winner, Scott Colom! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸”
