Democrata Scott Colom derrota republicana Cindy Hyde-Smith no Mississípi, avança CNN

Democrat Scott Colom has defeated Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith in Mississippi, leading by over 4,500 votes, or 0.5 percentage points, according to CNN projections. With 99% of ballots counted, Colom's lead has increased as election officials finalize results. Mississippi law does not allow for automatic recounts in Senate elections, but the losing candidate may seek a court-ordered recount. Experts suggest overturning the results is unlikely given the margin of victory.
