Black Democrat Challenges GOP in Mississippi | Roanoke News
Description
A Black Democrat prosecutor is making waves in Mississippi’s fiercely Republican Senate race, challenging incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith with a message of accountability and voting rights. Backed by national figures like Senator Angela Alsobrooks and riding a wave of increased Black voter turnout, Scott Colom is turning the tide on Hyde-Smith’s reputation as a party loyalist. While Hyde-Smith leans into conservative values and paints Colom as out of touch, Colom’s campaign taps into Mississippi’s historic struggle for equality — and inflation fears — to build momentum. This underdog battle could reshape the state’s political landscape — and it’s one to watch closely as Election Day nears.
