2020 Democrats swoop on Mississippi Senate race after GOP candidate slips

The tightening Mississippi race for U.S. Senate is starting to look a lot like a preview of the 2020 presidential election, as President Trump and a slew of potential Democratic challengers have entered the ring to fight for their party contenders.

The contest between Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith and Democratic opponent Mike Espy is headed for a runoff on Tuesday after both candidates tied on Election Day in a race that has seen a spending frenzy on both sides of the aisle.
