Senate Democrats' Top Super PAC Launches Ad Campaign in Deep-Red Mississippi Senate Race
Photo: NBC NewsSenate Majority PAC, the top Democratic Senate super PAC, announced Tuesday that it will spend $1.2 million on television and digital ads in Mississippi's U.S. Senate race. It is the group's first move in the contest this year. The buy extends Democratic spending into one of the most Republican states as the party tries to flip the Senate majority in November, while Republicans work to protect a slim majority. Prosecutor Scott Colom is the Democratic candidate challenging a Republican senator. Democrats have not held the seat since the 1980s.
All sides report the same core facts. Left-leaning outlets frame the spending as Democrats seeking inroads in Republican-leaning states, with CNN asking whether the seat is winnable and spotlighting Colom. Alternative outlets call it an aggressive move that signals a party on the offensive; AP adds that Democratic optimism is spreading in the South, and The Hill gives the dollar figure. The right-leaning Daily Caller stresses the money pouring in and the party's long drought in the seat, and relays a view that Colom is competitive.
