Democrat Scott Colom flipped eight Mississippi counties won by Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith in 2020, according to county-level returns available when The Associated Press (AP) called the Senate race Wednesday.

Mississippi will send its first popularly elected Black senator to Washington, while Republicans lose a seat in a state President Donald Trump carried by 23 points two years earlier.
