MS-SEN: Democratic super PAC investing $2M on Colom's challenge of Hyde-Smith, part of $50M national effort

A Democratic political group announced on Tuesday that it will spend $2 million on Mississippi’s U.S. Senate race between incumbent Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith and Democratic challenger Scott Colom, an effort that’s part of a $50 million campaign targeting congressional races around the country.

American Bridge 21st Century, a super PAC, which calls itself the “largest research, tracking, and rapid response operation in the Democratic Party,” said it was targeting nearly 20 key House and Senate races across Mississippi, Iowa, Alaska, Colorado, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas.

This campaign represents the group’s largest midterm paid media effort to date and will highlight “rising costs due to Trump’s tariffs and Iran War, health care challenges including rising costs and Medicaid cuts, and other economic pressures,” the group said in a news release.

“Many Americans are angry that President Trump has betrayed them, and we want them to share their stories. Working class voters are fed up with the cost, chaos, and corruption,” said Bradley Beychok, co-founder of American Bridge 21st Century. “Our investment aims to seize this opportunity in traditionally Republican territory. We will expand the map early and often.”
