Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith has won Mississippi's Senate runoff, holding off Democrat Mike Espy despite controversy over recent comments.
 
Hyde-Smith had 56 percent of the vote to Espy's 44 percent when the Associated Press called the race with more than three quarters of all precincts reporting. The result means Republicans will hold a 53-47 majority in the Senate next year.
 
The runoff for the remainder of Thad Cochran's term was held because neither candidate got a majority of the vote in a crowded race Nov. 6. Since then, Hyde-Smith has drawn scrutiny for saying she would attend a "public hanging" for a supporter, before apologizing and calling the comment an exaggerated form of regard.
