JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI - NOVEMBER 10: District Attorney and Democratic Senate candidate Scott Colom speaks to a reporter at the conclusion of a news conference at the Hinds County Sheriff's Office on November 10, 2026 in Jackson, Mississippi. The state continues counting affidavit ballots, absentee ballots and other outstanding votes in the closely contested U.S. Senate race between Democratic candidate Scott Colom and incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS). A Colom victory would mark a historic first for Mississippi, which has not elected a Black U.S. senator since the Reconstruction era. No Democrat has won a U.S. Senate election in the state since 1982.  (Photo by Brandon Bell/Getty Images)
