Mississippi Senate race is toss-up, with margin of under 100 votes
The Senate race in deep-red Mississippi remains unresolved Wednesday morning, as Democrat Scott Colom has mounted a surprisingly competitive challenge to incumbent Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the Mississippi Senate race as still too close to call, with France 24 calling it “neck and neck” and 60 Minutes describing a “razor thin margin” as counting continues. 60 Minutes is the only outlet here to give a specific ballot gap and a count percentage, saying the margin is under 30 ballots with 97% counted. France 24 stays more general and does not add numbers in its extract.
