Democratic strategist James Carville is predicting an upset in deep-red Mississippi, declaring that Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith is rattled by her Democratic challenger.<\/p>\n

“Cindy Hyde-Smith is as nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs,” the famed Ragin’ Cajun wrote in a fundraising email for Scott Colom, the Lowndes County district attorney challenging Hyde-Smith in November.<\/p>\n

Carville, the architect of Bill Clinton’s 1992 win, vouched for Colom in characteristically blunt terms. “This isn’t my first rodeo. I know a winner when I see one,” he wrote, predicting that “Mississippi is going to have a Democratic Senator by the end of 2026, and his name is Scott Colom.” He argued Hyde-Smith is “one of the most vulnerable Senators in office,” claiming Colom had already outraised her and pulled the race into “a statistical tie.”<\/p>\n

There is some real evidence the contest has narrowed. An April poll from the SPLC Action Fund and Impact Research found Colom trailing Hyde-Smith by just 3 points, a sharp tightening from a 13-point deficit the previous June, as Colom’s name recognition climbed. The two also have history: Hyde-Smith blocked Colom’s nomination to a federal judgeship during the Biden administration, citing his past ties to a George Soros-funded PAC.<\/p>\n

But the broader picture remains daunting for any Mississippi Democrat. No Democrat has won a Senate race in the state since 1982, and Donald Trump carried Mississippi by 23 points in 2024. The same April poll that showed Colom within 3 points also found a generic Republican Senate candidate leading by 13, underscoring how much of his standing rests on his own profile rather than a shift in the state’s partisan lean. Independent candidate Ty Pinkins, the 2024 Democratic nominee, is also on the ballot and could split the anti-Hyde-Smith vote.<\/p>\n

If he pulls it off, Colom would make history as Mississippi’s first Black senator since Reconstruction. He has run as a tough-on-crime Democrat, hammering Hyde-Smith over her vote for Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which he says will strip health coverage from more than 100,000 Mississippians.<\/p>\n
