> Democratic Mississippi Senate nominee Scott Colom urged Republican opponent Cindy Hyde-Smith to speak out, saying she has no path to victory in the unexpectedly close race. With 96% of votes counted, Colom held a slight lead, but the contest remained too close to call. He said he was confident the race was moving his way and called on Hyde-Smith to accept the voters’ will.
