Mississippi Election Results

Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith, a Republican, defeated Mike Espy, a Democrat, after she did so previously in a special election runoff that attracted national attention in 2018. Read more

Mr. Espy, a former congressman and the first African-American person to serve as agriculture secretary, was trying to become the state’s first Black senator since Reconstruction. He had run competitively in the conservative state by explicitly talking about race.

Ms. Hyde-Smith, who is the first woman elected to Congress from Mississippi, drew criticism during the previous election for making a cavalier reference to a public hanging. She has the strong backing of President Trump, who won handily in Mississippi in 2016 and coasted to victory there again this year. — ISABELLA GRULLÓN PAZ Read less
