MSGOP claims Colom’s AI generated video violates Mississippi law
The Mississippi Republican Party believes a 19-second AI video depicting Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith fleeing reporters, which Democrat Scott Colom claimed was "based on a true story," violates state law for disseminating a digitization within 90 days of an election that was done with the intent to injure another candidate and influence the results of the election.

Colom says U.S. Senate race with Hyde-Smith is “tied” but polling, history tell another story in Mississippi
Mississippi has seen this playbook before from a Democrat challenger to U.S. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith. Like Scott Colom's campaign, media outlets ran with polling results in 2020 in her race with Mike Espy showing the Democrat was within 1% of the Republican incumbent. Espy then lost by 10%.

Obama, Buttigieg, Booker, Warnock and now Harris. Scott Colom's full-throated embrace of national Democrats is uncommon in conservative Mississippi where voters by and large have rejected the progressive social and political platform of the Democratic Party.
