Senate Democrats' Main Super PAC Enters Mississippi Race as Republicans Weigh Extra Spending
Photo: AxiosSenate Majority PAC, the Senate Democrats' top campaign spending group, is entering Mississippi's U.S. Senate race for the first time this year with an ad, about two weeks before the November 3 election. Spokesperson Lauren French said Democrat Colom is running a competitive race that has Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith on her heels. Hyde-Smith campaign manager Jake Monssen noted the spending came late and said voters would reject a radical agenda. AdImpact data show about $8 million spent overall, with Colom outspending Hyde-Smith roughly $4.6 million to $3.2 million. Trump won the state by nearly 23 points in 2024, and no Democrat has won a Senate race there since 1982. Separately, Senate Republicans are reportedly weighing three late spending moves: money for Mississippi and more for South Carolina and Kansas.
