民主党参议院竞选委员会（DSCC）在密西西比州的参议院竞选中投入50万美元，支持民主党人斯科特·科洛姆（Scott Colom），后者正在挑战获得特朗普背书的共和党参议员辛迪·海德-史密斯（Cindy Hyde-Smith，共和党-密西西比州）。
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) dropped $500,000 in Mississippi’s Senate race supporting Scott Colom (D), who is challenging Trump-backed Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.).
这则新广告聚焦于科洛姆在“木兰州”担任地方检察官的履历。这位民主党人表示，他将“挑战任何阻碍密西西比州最大利益的人”，同时指责海德-史密斯“已经忘记了我们”。“参议院民主党人已将战场拓展至共和党腹地深处，我们将继续寻求一切可能的途径以赢得参议院多数席位，”DSCC发言人汤米·加西亚（Tommy Garcia）在一份声明中说。
The new ad focused on Colom’s record as a district attorney in the Magnolia State as the Democrat stated he’ll “take on anyone who stands in the way of what’s best for Mississippi,” while alleging Hyde-Smith had “forgotten us.”“Senate Democrats have expanded the battleground deep into Republican territory and we are continuing to pursue every path possible to win a Senate majority,” a spokesperson for the DSCC, Tommy Garcia, said in a statement.
这标志着DSCC首次向这场竞选注资，随着该党寻求重夺参议院控制权，密西西比州被列入其目标名单。
The ad marked the first time the DSCC has poured money into this race, adding Mississippi to its list of targets as the party seeks to regain control of the upper chamber.
民主党主要超级政治行动委员会“参议院多数派政治行动委员会”（SMP）已为科洛姆发起了一项耗资120万美元的广告宣传活动。这场竞选的激烈程度吸引了共和党阵营的“参议院领导基金”投入逾100万美元，力图捍卫海德-史密斯的席位。
The Senate Majority PAC (SMP), a top Democratic super PAC, already launched a $1.2 million ad campaign for Colom. The competitiveness of the race has drawn the GOP-aligned Senate Leadership Fund to spend more than $1 million in an effort to defend Hyde-Smith’s seat.
民主党面临艰难战局：密西西比州上一次在全州范围内选出民主党参议员还是1982年，而特朗普在2024年以23个百分点的优势赢下该州。
Democrats face an uphill battle as the last time Mississippi a Democratic senator statewide was in 1982 and President Trump carried it by 23 percentage points in 2024.
非党派选举分析机构“库克政治报告”将密西西比州参议院竞选的评级从“稳固共和党”调整为“倾向共和党”——这是共和党守住该席位可能面临比往常更艰难斗争的另一迹象。
The Cook Political Report, a nonpartisan election handicapper, shifted the Mississippi Senate race from solid Republican to lean Republican — another sign that Republicans may have a tougher fight than usual to hold the seat.
特朗普在密西西比州主持了一场集会，共和党希望此举能在该党处于守势的选举周期中提高投票率。
Trump headlined a rally in Mississippi which the GOP are hoping will increase turnout in an election cycle where the party is on the defensive.
密西西比州共和党策略师海耶斯·登特（Hayes Dent）本周早些时候告诉《国会山报》，共和党内部对特朗普存在高度挫败感。
Mississippi-based Republican strategist Hayes Dent told The Hill earlier this week that there are high levels of frustration among Republicans against Trump.
“当你出去告诉所有人你要让我们摆脱战争，你要清理沼泽，你要降低汽油价格，你要做所有这些事，而这一切都没有发生，人们就会感到沮丧，”登特说。
“When you go and tell everybody you’re going to get us out of wars, you’re going to drain the swamp, you’re going to cut gas prices, you’re going to do all of this, and none of that is occurring, people get frustrated,” Dent said.
与此同时，科隆获得了前总统奥巴马的支持，奥巴马为他录制了一段30秒的广告。前副总统哈里斯和参议员科里·布克（民主党-新泽西州）本月也都曾到访密西西比州。
Meanwhile, Colom has the backing of former President Obama who cut a 30-second ad spot for him. Former Vice President Kamala Harris and Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) have all also made stops in Mississippi this month.
