AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoSenate Count: Democrat Scott Colom has widened his lead over Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith to just over 3,000 votes, but Mississippi’s race remains uncalled. Secretary of State Michael Watson said 76 counties had uploaded uncertified results and four had certified them; counties face a Friday deadline. If Colom’s lead holds, he would become Mississippi’s first Black U.S. senator since Reconstruction and its first Democratic senator in four decades. Hyde-Smith says she remains confident as ballots are counted. Ballot Scrutiny: The close contest has drawn concerns over affidavit ballots and voters reportedly marked inactive, with advocacy groups urging officials to count every eligible vote. Governor’s Race: State Auditor Shad White has formally launched his 2027 gubernatorial campaign, pledging to dismantle what he calls Jackson’s “good-ole boys club” and curb wasteful spending and insider deals.
