Democrat Scott Colom is projected to defeat Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in Mississippi, according to the “CNN” Decision Desk, Anadolu Agency reported.
The projected result would flip a Senate seat in one of the most surprising outcomes of the Nov. 3 midterm elections.
Colom is poised to become the first Democrat in more than four decades to win a U.S. Senate seat in Mississippi, a state that has long been a Republican stronghold.
Colom, 43, would also become the first Black person elected to represent Mississippi in the Senate since the Reconstruction era.
