WASHINGTON _ Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith believes it's better to be seen in Washington working _ and seen with President Donald Trump _ than debating her opponents back in Mississippi prior to the Nov. 6 special Senate election.
Trump is heading to Mississippi on Tuesday to campaign for Hyde-Smith, who's fighting for a U.S. Senate seat Republicans need to keep.
Hyde-Smith faces a tough Democratic challenge from former Clinton administration Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy as well as from Republican Chris McDaniel. The Senate currently has 51 Republicans, meaning a net loss of two seats allows Democrats to control the chamber next year.
