Below is a political opinion column by Sid Salter:
Columnist Sid Salter says Hyde-Smith is the clear favorite in this race but expect Colom to continue to wage a bare-knuckle campaign.
After the March 10 primaries, Mississippi now enters the home stretch of the 2026 mid-term elections, amid renewed fighting in the Middle East, new global and domestic economic challenges influenced by that conflict, and American partisan differences that have not been deeper or more pronounced since the late 1960s.

Below is a political opinion column by Bobby Harrison:
As Republicans surged to take control of state government in the 1990s and 2000s, no two Democratic Mississippi politicians were more despised by members of the upstart party than Ronnie Musgrove and Billy McCoy.
McCoy served from 2004 until 2012 as the last Democratic speaker of the Mississippi House while Musgrove served from 1996 until 2000 as the state’s last Democratic lieutenant governor and from 2000 until 2004 as Mississippi’s last Democratic governor.

Gov. Tate Reeves talks about Mississippi's Rural Health Transformation Program plan during a press conference at the Walter Sillers Building in Jackson on Tuesday, Oct. 4, 2025. Credit: Eric Shelton/Mississippi Today
Lt. Gov. Hosemann responds that governor’s claim is ‘malicious, unnecessary and false.’
Republican Gov. Tate Reeves on Monday vetoed a bill that sought to provide low-interest loans to local governments impacted by this year’s deadly winter storm and accused Senate staffers of committing unconstitutional and potentially criminal acts with the legislation.
But the basis for Reeves’s allegations of criminal action is inaccurate.
