Democrat Scott Colom held a 1,138-vote lead over incumbent Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith in Mississippi as about 96% of ballots were counted on November 4, 2026, with Republicans blaming President Trump’s absence from the ballot and the war in Iran for the setback. Earlier counts showed a much tighter race.

NBC News reported that the margin had narrowed to 65 votes with thousands of mail and provisional ballots still pending and both campaigns preparing for possible legal challenges. The BBC noted a slim lead with many ballots yet to be tallied, and CBS News earlier said the gap had shrunk to a few dozen votes when 96% of precincts had reported.
