Mississippi Senate race is toss-up, with razor-thin margin
The Senate race in deep-red Mississippi remains unresolved Thursday morning, as Democrat Scott Colom has mounted a surprisingly competitive challenge to incumbent Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith.
What the coverage shows
All six outlets frame the Mississippi Senate race as unresolved and unusually tight, with CBS News calling it a toss-up and Fox News, NBC News, and Al Jazeera all emphasizing an extended count or knife-edge margin. The Guardian US is the only outlet here to foreground a specific vote lead and describe it as growing, while NBC News is alone in mentioning a possible ballot battle and Fox News alone in adding emergency donations and a legal team. 60 Minutes pairs Mississippi with Alaska and focuses on how close both races are rather than the Mississippi race alone.
