Scott Colom, the Democratic Senate candidate in Mississippi, released a campaign advertisement over the Halloween weekend, days before the midterm elections, according to a report from The Hill. The outlet described the ad as Sinners-themed.
According to The Hill, the ad was released on TikTok and pays homage to the Academy Award-winning film set in the Mississippi Delta in 1932. The report states that the film stars Michael B. Jordan, who played twins in the movie.
The Hill’s summary says the film’s premise “revolves around the twins,” but the available text stops at that point. The summary does not describe the plot further or explain how the advertisement draws on the film’s story.
The report was written by Suryatapa Chakraborty and published on October 31, 2026. The summary describes the Mississippi Senate race as heating up, but it does not name Colom’s opponent or report other campaign activity.
The summary does not report any comment from Colom or his campaign about the advertisement, and this story does not attribute any statement to them. This account relies on The Hill’s summary and does not include other reporting on the advertisement.
