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.
The Hill
What the coverage shows
All six outlets frame the Mississippi Senate contest as unresolved and very close, with CBS News calling it a toss-up and NBC News saying the count could take days. CBS News and 60 Minutes emphasize the narrow margin, while Al Jazeera pairs Mississippi with Alaska as one of two delayed races. The Guardian US alone adds a live-blog angle about a Republican blame game and says Colom is leading Hyde-Smith; Fox News alone foregrounds emergency fundraising and a possible legal fight.
