Trump Stumps In Mississippi

GRAND RAPIDS, MI. - President Donald Trump campaigned in Corinth, Mississippi, on Monday, October 26, 2026, at Crossroads Arena. The event served as a midterm rally to support incumbent Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith, who faces Democratic challenger Scott Colom. Doors opened at 2:30 PM, with remarks commencing at 6:00 PM. President Trump spoke for 83 minutes during the rally.

Senator Hyde-Smith briefly addressed the crowd, speaking for 3 seconds and asking, "Is this not the best president in our lifetime?". Democratic challenger Scott Colom also appeared at the rally site, engaging with Trump supporters. Mississippi is a reliably Republican state, with Trump winning it by an average of nearly 20 percentage points across three elections and by 23 points in 2024.

Despite Mississippi's Republican leanings, Democrats are investing significantly in the Senate race. The Senate Democrats' super PAC made a $1.2 million investment, and Scott Colom outpaced Cindy Hyde-Smith in fundraising since launching his campaign. If elected, Colom would become Mississippi's first Black senator since Reconstruction. President Trump's Mississippi visit was part of a broader midterm campaign tour that included stops in Texas, South Carolina, Iowa, and Kansas. This visit followed former Vice President Kamala Harris's trip to Mississippi the previous week.
