华盛顿电 本周三上午，属于铁杆保守派的密西西比州参议院中期选举仍未决出胜负，民主党人斯科特·科洛姆对现任共和党参议员辛迪·海德-史密斯发起了意外激烈的挑战。
在已计96%选票的情况下，两位候选人仅相差几十票，这一结果在“木兰之州”（密西西比州别称）令人震惊地接近。
67岁的海德-史密斯自2018年起担任参议员，此次寻求连任。不过地区检察官科洛姆发起了强有力的挑战，有可能为民主党再添一场胜选。
周二晚间，民主党在多场参议院选举中斩获一系列胜利，包括在2024年总统特朗普以两位数优势胜出的州。民主党已拿下超过4个共和党席位，确保在新一年掌控参议院。若科洛姆成功胜选，将进一步扩大民主党多数优势。
43岁的科洛姆是密西西比州的第七代居民，竞选主打生活成本和医疗保健议题。民主党在最近几周开始向这场选举投入资源，认为存在翻盘机会。不过在选举日临近时，这一可能结果仍显得极不可能。
特朗普在2024年以20个百分点的优势赢得密西西比州，该州自1982年以来尚未选举过民主党人参议院。
本周三凌晨，科洛姆在对支持者发表讲话时表示：“所有结果都朝着我们的方向推进。”
“我们在那些原本被认为毫无竞争胜算的郡里正取得进展，”科洛姆说，“而且我们正在赢得这些地方。”
密西西比州这场未决选举发生之际，阿拉斯加州的参议院选举也仍未结束，导致民主党多数席位的规模仍悬而未决。
Mississippi Senate midterm race unresolved with surprisingly competitive challenge by Democrat
November 4, 2026 / 10:02 AM EST / CBS News
Washington — The Senate midterm race in deep-red Mississippi remains unresolved Wednesday morning, with Democrat Scott Colom mounting a surprisingly competitive challenge to incumbent GOP Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith.
With 96% of the vote in, just a few dozen votes separated the candidates, a stunningly close result in the Magnolia State.
Hyde-Smith, 67, has been in the Senate since 2018 and is seeking reelection. But Colom, a district attorney, launched a formidable challenge, and could deliver Democrats yet another victory.
Democrats saw a slew of wins in Senate races Tuesday night, including in states that President Trump won by double digits in the 2024 elections. With more than four flips of GOP-held seats, Democrats secured enough seats to take control of the chamber in the new year. If Colom manages to pull off a victory, he would add to their majority.
Colom, 43, is a seventh-generation Mississippian who campaigned on cost of living and health care issues. Democrats began investing in the race in recent weeks, seeing an opportunity for a pickup. But the possible outcome still appeared exceedingly unlikely heading into Election Day.
Mr. Trump won Mississippi by 20 points in 2024, and the state hasn’t elected a Democrat to the Senate since 1982.
Speaking to supporters in the wee hours of the morning on Wednesday, Colom said, “The results are all trending in our direction.”
“We are trending in counties that people thought we had no chance to compete in,” Colom said. “And we’re winning them.”
The unresolved race in Mississippi comes as Alaska’s Senate race is also outstanding, leaving the size of Democrats’ majority up in the air.
