Attack ads flood Mississippi's shockingly-competitive Senate race

The closing stretch of Mississippi's Senate race features prominent advertising from both campaigns and outside groups. A key ad highlights an Epstein survivor criticizing Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith for voting against releasing files related to the convicted trafficker. This ad, funded by New Deal for All, has aired over 1,200 times in the past week. Hyde-Smith's vote, which postponed an amendment for full file release, is the focus of this attack. The Senator's campaign stated her vote was procedural and she supports releasing legally permissible information while protecting victims. In response, Hyde-Smith's campaign launched its own attack ad against Democratic challenger Scott Colom, labeling him a "transgender defender." This ad has aired over 2,800 times since its debut last month. However, Hyde-Smith's campaign has significantly reduced spending on this particular ad recently. Despite the tight race, Hyde-Smith is still the expected winner. President Trump has urged continued support for Hyde-Smith, emphasizing the need to ensure her victory.
