Mississippi Senate race still a toss-up, with razor-thin margin
The Senate race in deep-red Mississippi remains unresolved, as Democrat Scott Colom has mounted a surprisingly competitive challenge to incumbent Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the Mississippi Senate contest as still unresolved and extremely close, with CBS News calling it a toss-up and CNBC describing a razor-thin race. CBS foregrounds the overall competitiveness of Democrat Scott Colom’s challenge, while CNBC is alone in emphasizing a possible ballot legal fight and the role of mail-in ballots received after Election Day.
