mike espy holding a narrow lead. 56% to 43%. that's a big lead. it was smaller a bit ago, but at 1%. read almost nothing into this, except take a look at what we're going to see here. a line over here, you see the little bit that is in over here is coming in blue. that's what has to happen for espy. his old congressional district, he was a former clinton cabinet member, he was in congress in the '90s. three weeks ago, remember, we're having the runoff tonight. cindy hyde-smith, the republican incumbent, got 41%. mike elsepy, the democratic challenger, got just below that, 41%. the other candidates finishing below that. mike espy did run it up in this part of the state three weeks. go. this is what he has to do again tonight and i would argue by bigger numbers. if you look at the republican vote, 41% for the incumbent, cindy hyde-smith. 16% for chris mcdaniel. if those republican votes go to the incumbent, it's game over. espy has no run up the african-american vote, find a way -- come back to tonight's map -- find a way to cut into the white vote

mike espy has conceded. with the rates being announced and called sooner than his campaign was expecting over at the headquarters, they turned off the projector screens, and he called cindy hyde-smith. she and her family are going to come down any minute here after what her campaign says was not a very suspensionful night. it was unclear exactly what kind of numbers they might have had when she become the first person, the first candidate to ever get president trump to come and campaign twice in one day for her. but her campaign was sitting back there looking at projections that they had based on trends they were seeing and turnouts they thought special elections are a lot harder to predict than a general election. they say that things unfolded almost exactly like they thought. again an early night here in mississippi where mike espy is a democrat who was trying to become the first african-american elected since re-construction has law to cindy hyde-smith who will now become the first woman ever elected sena

it is true that mike espy could win. it's a remote chance. mississippi is not a very swingy state at all. in mississippi almost all of the white voters are republican and almost all the black voters are democrats. it's a 60% white state. guess what? the elections are almost 60/40 in mississippi. that's how it goes. it would be very hard for mike espy, those last 10 points to get to 50%, very hard to come by for democrats in mississippi. it could happen but he would need three things. he would need first of all astonishing black turnout. african-american voters storm the polls. it happened once before when thad cochran was in a runoff. that could happen. number two, he would need disaffected republican opponent to stay home out of resentment for her as a moderate. the third thing in the northern part of the state, the memphis suburbs. they would need traditional republican voters to vote for espy. that's a lot of ifs. >> sandra: you are saying there is a chance for espy and a path to victory for him potentially. in your piece you write if form
