US Politics Daily@uspoliticsdailyDemocrat Scott Colom has won Mississippi's Senate race over Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith, adding to the Democrats' majority.
Colom, a local prosecutor, is the first Black person to represent Mississippi in the Senate since Reconstruction. Few had expected the race to be competitive, but his viral 28-second ad drew national attention in mid-October by reviving Hyde-Smith's earlier comments on beef prices.
Senate Majority PAC only began spending in the final stretch, and Obama, Harris and Trump all weighed in on the race in October.
