Incumbent Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith held a narrow lead over Democrat Scott Colom in Mississippi on November 5, with thousands of absentee and provisional ballots still to be counted after the Supreme Court upheld the state's mail-in ballot law. Earlier counts had shown Colom taking a slim advantage, at one point leading by 65 votes and later by 1,138 votes as 96 % of ballots were tallied.

Republican officials blamed the shift on President Trump's absence from the ballot and the war in Iran, while independent candidate Ty Pinkins said his votes, largely from Republican-leaning areas, may have helped Colom. The race has stayed within a few hundred votes throughout the count.

Two claims were partially confirmed: on November 4, 2026, Democrat Scott Colom narrowed the margin to a few dozen votes against Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith with 96% of precincts reporting, and on November 5, 2026, with about 96% of ballots counted, Colom held a 1,138-vote lead over Hyde-Smith. One claim about Colom holding a slim lead on November 4, 2026, with the final outcome pending as thousands of ballots remained, had insufficient evidence. Another claim that the Supreme Court upheld Mississippi's mail-in ballot law also had insufficient evidence.
