Senate Republicans are projected to suffer yet another stunning setback, this time in reliably red Mississippi.
Incumbent Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, R-Miss., is projected to lose her bid for a second full term in the U.S. Senate to state District Attorney Scott Colom in a race that was deadlocked until the final weeks of October, according to The Associated Press.
More than a week after Election Day, the AP called the razor-thin race in favor of Colom Wednesday, pushing the Democrats’ hold on the U.S. Senate to 55 seats to the Republicans’ 44 in another flip.
Democrats could gain another pending the results in Alaska, where former Rep. Mary Peltola is in a neck-and-neck contest with Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska.
A source told Fox News Digital Hyde-Smith had spoken with Colom and conceded the race.
