By WDAM Staff
PETAL, MS (WDAM) - Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith was in Petal Tuesday night to celebrate America at the Star-Spangled Celebration on the River.
Hyde-Smith said it was nice to come and enjoy Fourth of July excitement with the people of Petal.
Since her appointment to fill the vacated seat of former U-S senator Thad Cochran, she said she has been hard at work in D.C. She added right now its an exciting time to be in D.C., especially with the upcoming vote on the supreme court justice.
"Well, pretty much shapes it generationally," Hyde-Smith said. "The president has let us know that probably next week he'll tell us who his nominee will be, so it's just a phenomenal time."
According to FiveThirtyEight.com, Hyde-Smith has voted with President Trump 100 percent of the time since she took office in April.
