Mississippi Senate race: GOP super PAC invests in Cindy Hyde-Smith defense

The Senate Leadership Fund, a leading Republican super PAC, has begun investing in advertisements to support incumbent Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith in Mississippi. This move comes as Senate Democrats have announced plans to spend approximately $1 million on ads for the same race.

While Mississippi is considered a Republican stronghold, GOP officials are monitoring the campaign of Democrat Scott Colom, a district attorney supported by figures such as former President Barack Obama and Vice President Kamala Harris. The increased Republican spending reflects concerns regarding Hyde-Smith’s fundraising and her historical performance relative to Donald Trump’s margins in the state.
