‘Mississippi matters’: Scott Colom aims to turn Mississippi blue

The Democrat is challenging incumbent Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith for US Senate

On Tuesday, with just one week until the election, Scott Colom's headquarters was buzzing. Volunteers arrived for phone-banking, while staffers prepared for another day of campaigning. Colom, a Democrat who is challenging incumbent Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith for US Senate, had just held a press conference in Corinth, Mississippi.

Trump campaigned for Hyde-Smith in Corinth, a small city near the Tennessee border that typically leans Republican on Tuesday, too. He told attendees that he was there because Cindy's doing great, but I just got to make sure. I can't take a chance."
