flag Mississippi Democrats gained Senate control, ending Republican supermajority after court-ordered redistricting.

flag Mississippi Democrats broke the Republican supermajority in the state Senate for the first time in 13 years, winning two seats in newly redrawn districts following a federal court ruling that the previous map violated the Voting Rights Act. flag Unofficial results show Democrats now hold 34 of 52 seats, ending the Republicans' two-thirds majority needed to override vetoes and pass constitutional amendments. flag Key victories included former Hattiesburg mayor Johnny DuPree winning District 45 with 71% of the vote and Democrat Theresa Gillespie Isom claiming District 2. flag The redistricting, aimed at improving Black voter representation, made six Senate and one House seat competitive. flag Republicans called the results disappointing, citing court-drawn maps, while Democrats hailed the shift as a milestone in restoring checks and balances. flag The gains are part of broader Democratic successes in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York. flag Final results are pending as absentee ballots are processed.
