Newsom solicits cash as Biden’s former election lawyer mobilizes legal team for Mississippi Senate race
Gavin Newsom is soliciting emergency donations while Marc Elias' law firm prepares for a legal fight as the Mississippi Senate race remains uncalled.
What the coverage shows
All five outlets frame the Mississippi Senate contest as unresolved and very close, with CBS News, NBC News and 60 Minutes emphasizing the narrow margin and the prospect of a prolonged count. The Guardian US is the only outlet here to foreground a specific lead and vote total, saying Colom is ahead by 1,138 votes with 96% counted. Fox News is the only one to add a broader political angle, focusing on fundraising and a possible legal fight around the race.
