Mississippi Republican Gov. Tate Reeves wins 2nd term, defeating Democrat Brandon Presley
SUMMARY: Mississippi Republican Governor Tate Reeves has been re-elected for a second term, defeating his Democratic challenger, Brandon Presley. Despite his opponent raising more funds and working to give the Democrats a rare statewide victory, Reeves’ campaign themes resonated with the voters. His focus was on job creation, lower unemployment rates, and advancements in education. He also painted his opponent as a liberal supported by out-of-state donors and out of sync with Mississippi residents. The election process faced challenges, like polling places running out of ballots and long lines in several precincts.
