Mississippi Gov. Reeves faces 2 GOP rivals in Tuesday’s primary, while Democrat Presley is unopposed
SUMMARY: Incumbent Governor Tate Reeves is seeking the Republican nomination for a second term in Mississippi. He faces minimal opposition from low-budget campaigns run by John Witcher, a physician critical of COVID-19 vaccinations, and David Hardigree, a military veteran. Reeves highlights the state’s low unemployment rate and job growth as evidence of Mississippi’s momentum. On the other hand, Democrat Brandon Presley, a member of the Mississippi Public Service Commission, criticizes Reeves for being out of touch with struggling residents. Presley is running unopposed for the Democratic nomination and aims to eliminate the state’s 7% tax on groceries and expand Medicaid coverage. The general election will take place on November 7.
