参议院共和党预计将遭遇又一惊人挫折，这一次发生在向来可靠的红州密西西比州。
Senate Republicans are projected to suffer yet another stunning setback, this time in reliably red Mississippi.
据美联社报道，现任参议员、共和党人辛迪·海德-史密斯预计将在竞选第二个完整任期的角逐中败给州地区检察官斯科特·科隆。直到10月最后几周，这场竞争仍处于胶着状态。
Incumbent Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, R-Miss., is projected to lose her bid for a second full term in the U.S. Senate to state District Attorney Scott Colom in a race, according to The Associated Press, that until the final weeks of October, was deadlocked. More than a week after Election Day, the AP called the razor-thin race in favor of Colom on Wednesday, pushing the Democrats' hold on the U.S. Senate to 55 seats to the Republicans' 44 in another flip.
在大选日过后逾一周，美联社于周三宣布科隆在得票极其接近的竞争中获胜，使民主党对美国参议院的控制优势扩大至55席对共和党44席，又实现一席翻转。
President Donald Trump rallied behind her and a seven-figure, last-minute ad buy by the Senate Leadership Fund, a political action committee closely tied to Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., were not enough to stop Colom’s momentum.
总统唐纳德·特朗普为她站台助选，且与参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩（共和党-南达科他州）关系密切的政治行动委员会“参议院领导力基金”在最后关头投入七位数广告资金，均未能阻挡科隆的势头。
Her loss to Colom, who she previously blocked for a district court seat under the Biden administration years ago, comes after both parties rallied big names and resources in an effort to prevent a nightmare scenario for Republicans.
海德-史密斯此前曾在拜登政府时期阻挠科隆获得地区法院法官提名，如今败给对方，此前双方都动员大腕和资源，试图避免共和党的噩梦场景出现。
