Democratic nominee Scott Colom won the Mississippi Senate election over Republican incumbent Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith , the Associated Press reported Wednesday. Colom, a local district attorney, will be the first Black senator from Mississippi since the post-Civil War Reconstruction Era. His projected victory — which was not considered likely by national analysts before Election Day — is the latest in a series of stunning wins by Democrats this midterm cycle. Two sources close to Colom's campaign said Hyde-Smith called him late Wednesday afternoon to concede. "While this is not the outcome we worked for, or hoped for, I respect the decision of Mississippi voters," Hyde-Smith said in a video posted on X .
