Only debate of Mississippi governor’s race brings insults and interruptions from Reeves and Presley
SUMMARY: Mississippi’s Republican Governor Tate Reeves and Democratic contender Brandon Presley engaged in a combative debate, accusing each other of corruption and presenting sharply contrasting plans for the state. Reeves criticised Presley’s campaign donations from solar power supporters, while Presley accused Reeves of demanding campaign money before agreeing to meetings. Reeves also called for the complete elimination of the state income tax, while Presley advocated for a reduction in the state’s 7% grocery tax, the highest in the country. The debate took place before the general election in a deeply conservative state where Republicans have held the governor’s office for the past 20 years.

SUMMARY: Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves advocates for phasing out the state income tax to enhance competitiveness with states like Florida and Texas. Despite potential federal spending cuts during Donald Trump’s second term, Reeves believes states should have more flexibility with Medicaid funding. Mississippi relies heavily on federal funds for its budget, especially for Medicaid, which is vital for low-income residents. Reeves has proposed a $110 million investment for infrastructure and workforce development to attract industries. The governor emphasizes the need for competitive tax rates to support economic growth and address state challenges.
