The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, known as the DSCC, has dropped $500,000 in Mississippi's Senate race to support Democrat Scott Colom, according to a report from The Hill. Colom is challenging Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith.
The Hill described Hyde-Smith as Trump-backed. The outlet reported that the new ad focuses on Colom's record as a district attorney in Mississippi.
According to The Hill, Colom said he would "take on anyone who stands in the way" of what he described as the state's interests. The summary of the report available to this newspaper cuts off before the rest of that statement, so the full remark is not reported here.
The summary gives the spending figure as $500,000, and its headline gives the same amount as $500K. It does not say how the money will be used beyond the ad, whether the committee has made other investments in the race, or whether Hyde-Smith's campaign has responded to the ad.
The report was written by Mira Bhakta of The Hill.
