(CNN) - CNN projects that Republican Roger Wicker will win the Senate seat in Mississippi in a special election to replace former Sen. Trent Lott who resigned in December 2007.

Wicker, a former seven-term congressman who was appointed to the seat, defeated former Gov. Ronnie Musgrove, a Democrat.

CNN projections are based on actual results and exit poll data from key areas.
