Voters and political experts share their thoughts on the gubernatorial election in Mississippi, where Republican incumbent Gov. Tate Reeves faces Democratic candidate Brandon Presley.
The governor’s race in Mississippi is days away, and Republicans may not have their typical upper hand over Democrats in this red state contest. In a state where Republicans hold all statewide offices and a large majority in the legislature, the governor’s race should be a done deal for incumbent Republican Gov. Tate Reeves, said Glenn Antizzo, a political science professor at Mississippi College. 'He should be winning by a huge margin, not 5%,' said Antizzo.
Reeves’s Democratic challenger, state Public Service Commissioner Brandon Presley, is a second cousin to rock ‘n’ roll legend Elvis Presley. Presley’s big push is for Medicaid expansion, and he says he is a tax-cutting Democrat. On the campaign trail, he tells the story of his difficult childhood, being raised by a single mom after his father was murdered. A Democrat has not been elected governor in the state since 1999. But the cash is still flowing in for Presley.
SEEKING 'COMPLETE ELIMINATION' OF INCOME TAX IN MISSISSIPPI AS HE RUNS FOR RE-ELECTION One student at the University of Mississippi law school says the governor’s initiative to raise teacher pay is why he’s supporting the incumbent. 'I'm a Christian, and I'm also a conservative,' said Tyler. 'I think Tate Reeves is the best Christian conservative to lead our state. He's done good. My mom's a schoolteacher.
Even if Presley becomes governor, virtually every other statewide office is going to be held by a Republican unless things change. And I see no signs of this changing at all,' he said. The polls close at 7 p.m. in Mississippi on election night. Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more at our Fox News Digital election hub.
