Democratic candidate Scott Colom beat Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith in Mississippi's US Senate race after a prolonged ballot-counting process, the Associated Press projected on Wednesday. The victory makes Colom, 43, the state's first Black US senator since post-Civil War Reconstruction. The southern US state of Mississippi has been controlled mostly by white conservatives for generations. The outcome adds to a decisive midterm rebuke of President Donald Trump, whose Republican Party suffered defeats in several states , and it will bolster some Democrats' argument that their future runs through the US South.
