Attack ads flood Mississippi's shockingly-competitive Senate race
Axios · north america
The most-aired ad in the closing stretch of Mississippi's Senate race features a Jeffrey Epstein survivor attacking GOP Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith for voting against releasing files related to the convicted human trafficker.Why it matters: In the past week, Hyde-Smith has been outgunned on the airwaves. AdImpact data shows that only one of the eight most-aired spots portrays her positively.Five of the ads either positively portray her Democratic challenger, Scott Colom, or attack Hyde-Smith for her Senate record, largely painting her as an out-of-touch senator who cares more about her rich donors.
