flag Democrat Scott Colom challenges Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in 2026, citing her past opposition to his judgeship and her record on economic issues.

flag U.S. flag Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS) faces a potential 2026 re-election challenge from Scott Colom, a Democrat she blocked in 2023 from a federal judgeship due to his progressive views. flag Colom is leveraging the irony of her past opposition to highlight her record on infrastructure and semiconductor funding, arguing she has failed Mississippi’s economic interests. flag Despite Mississippi’s strong Republican leanings, Colom’s campaign has gained traction, aided by Democratic gains in recent state races. flag Hyde-Smith’s team counters by questioning Colom’s positions on transgender rights. flag The race is emerging as one of the most competitive in the state in years, reflecting broader political shifts in the South.
