Mississippi Senate Race Too Close to Call as Vote Count Continues
The U.S. Senate race in Mississippi remains too early to call, with nearly 2,500 votes separating the candidates and a significant number of ballots still outstanding and being counted.
Richmond Petersburg, VA, November 6, 2026 — The outcome of the U.S. Senate race in Mississippi has not yet been determined, as election officials continue to tabulate votes. The race is exceptionally close, with a margin of nearly 2,500 votes currently separating the leading candidates.
Officials have stated that a substantial number of ballots have yet to be processed and included in the final tally. This ongoing counting process means that the final results are pending, and the race is considered too early to call at this stage.
