  "summary": "Scott Colom is set to become the first Democrat elected to the U.S. Senate from Mississippi since 1982, as well as the first Black Mississippian popularly elected to the chamber, according to CNN's projection. Colom defeated incumbent Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith in a historic victory that further tilts Congress towards the Democrats under President Donald Trump's second term. The final vote count, which included 98.6 percent of ballots, showed Colom leading Hyde-Smith by a narrow margin of 49.2 percent to 48.7 percent.",
