President Trump will travel to deep red Mississippi on Monday, seeking to turn out GOP voters for incumbent Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.).
Hyde-Smith is facing a surprisingly competitive race against Democrat Scott Colom, a district attorney.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris and Democratic Sens. Raphael Warnock (Ga.) and Cory Booker (N.J.) have all made stops in Mississippi this month.
The visits are seen as part of a strategy to galvanize Mississippi’s Black voters, who make up 36 percent of the state’s population. That’s the largest of any state.
Hyde-Smith is still favored to win reelection, but forecasters have shifted the race toward Colom in recent weeks.
