Democrat Scott Colom has won the U.S. Senate race in Mississippi, defeating the Republican incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith, according to projections by NBC News, CBS News, NPR, and the Associated Press.

This victory marks a significant upset in Mississippi, a state that had not elected a Democrat to the Senate in more than 40 years, NPR reported.

Colom's win is notable as it shifts the balance in the Senate, giving Democrats a 55-seat majority, NBC News noted.

The race was closely watched as a key contest in the 2026 midterm elections, with CBS News describing it as a major upset.

The results reflect a change in Mississippi's political landscape and contribute to the broader composition of the U.S. Senate following the elections.
