Incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith easily defeated GOP challenger Sarah Adlakha on Tuesday night, securing her party’s nomination and ensuring she will advance to the general election in November.
All four of Mississippi’s incumbent U.S. representatives and its incumbent junior U.S. senator are running for reelection in 2026 and were on the ballot Tuesday. See Mississippi Today’s live primary election results here.
Throughout the primary campaign, Hyde-Smith highlighted her close relationship with President Donald Trump and her close ties to Mississippi’s farmers.
Hyde-Smith became a U.S. senator in 2018 after former Gov. Phil Bryant appointed her to fill the seat vacated by longtime senator Thad Cochran. She later won a special election in 2018 to complete the remainder of Cochran’s term and was elected to a full six-year term in 2020. She is the first woman to represent Mississippi in Congress.
With the primary decided, Hyde-Smith will face off against one of three potential Democratic nominees: Scott Colom, the district attorney for Noxubee, Clay, Lowndes and Oktibbeha counties; Marine Corps veteran Albert Littell; and Priscilla Williams-Till, a distant cousin of lynching victim Emmett Till.
At a political breakfast in Rankin County on Saturday, Hyde-Smith relished the nearing end of a primary filled with what she said was a flurry of negative attack ads against her. She looked ahead to a potential general election against Colom, calling him a “George Soros-backed candidate” and saying she expected a difficult general election campaign, with Republicans trying to fend off Democratic challengers eager to capitalize on backlash to President Trump’s second term.
“It’s going to be tough between now and November,” Hyde-Smith said. “It’s going to be a long summer for me. I know that, but I’m going to be out working.”
House Republican incumbents Trent Kelly in District 1 and Michael Guest in District 3 both ran unopposed for the Republican nomination. Guest will take on Democrat Michael Chiaradio, a former baseball player turned regenerative farmer from New Jersey, who also ran unopposed in his party’s primary. Kelly will take on either Cliff Johnson, a University of Mississippi law school professor or former Marshall County state Rep. Kelvin Buck.
In District 4, incumbent Republican Mike Ezell is running against Sawyer Walters. Three Democrats are running for the nomination. They are Jeffrey Hulum III, a state representative from Gulfport, D. Ryan Grover, a business consultant who was the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor in 2023 and Paul Blackman, a Navy veteran.
In District 2, the only seat held by a Democrat, incumbent Bennie Thompson is running against Evan Turnage, a former aide to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York and Senate Conference Vice Chair Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts. Thompson is also attempting to stave off a challenge from Pertis Williams III, who has focused on agricultural issues.
On the Republican side in District 2, Adams County Supervisor Kevin Wilson is squaring off against Ron Eller, a physician’s assistant and military veteran who is running again for the GOP nomination after losing to Thompson by nearly 25 points in 2024.
Party nominees chosen on Tuesday will compete in the general election on Nov. 3.
