In Texas, Channel 14 reported that after more than 52% of the votes were counted, Democratic candidate James Talarico leads his Republican rival Ken Paxton by over a million votes. According to the report, vote counting is still ongoing. Arutz Sheva reported that Talarico defeated Paxton in the Senate election, but its report did not include further details on the outcome.

In Mississippi, according to Kikar HaShabbat, after most votes were counted, Scott Colom leads Cindy Hyde-Smith by just dozens of votes. According to the report, the race, considered a safe Republican stronghold, has become an especially close contest. If Colom wins, he would be the first Democratic senator from Mississippi in more than four decades.
