Mississippi is tough political territory for Democrats. But the party sees an unusual opportunity this year to unseat the Republican governor, Tate Reeves.
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, chairman of the Democratic Governors Association, described the three contests as “away games" but said Mississippi may be “the sleeper” — a state where the right Democrat could win. That's despite voters twice heavily backing Donald Trump for president, the GOP holding all statewide offices and a supermajority in the Legislature and a Democrat not winning a Mississippi governor's race so far this century.
“Are we going to let them make Mississippi conform to California values?” Reeves asked. Again, the response was “No!” Murphy said Presley's style has been winning over donors. At an event Presley attended in New Jersey with Murphy, they exceeded their fundraising goal. “Democrats are desperately trying to create a mirage when it comes to Mississippi," said Republican Governors Association spokesperson Courtney Alexander."The reality is that Brandon Presley is bought and paid for by national Democrats, while Gov. Reeves’ record of historically low unemployment, historically high graduation rates, and substantial pay raises for Mississippi educators speaks for itself.
