GOP Super PAC Spends in Mississippi Senate Race as Harris and Trump Plan Visits
Photo: SemaforThe Senate Leadership Fund, the top Senate Republican super PAC, is launching an ad campaign in the low seven figures in Mississippi to defend Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith against Democratic candidate Scott Colom, a person familiar with the plans told Semafor. It follows a $1.2 million Mississippi buy by Democratic group Senate Majority PAC. Former Vice President Kamala Harris was scheduled to hold a rural-healthcare roundtable in Clarksdale and rally with Colom in Columbus on Thursday. President Donald Trump is due to rally for Hyde-Smith in Corinth on Monday. Trump won the state with 60.9 percent to Harris's 38 percent in 2024. Hyde-Smith campaign manager Jake Monssen said Trump offered to help turn out voters and rejected suggestions of vulnerability. The Fund's ad links Colom to Chuck Schumer, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, George Soros and Harris.
