 Mississippi Republican Governor Tate Reeves won a second term Tuesday in the conservative state where his party dominates Reeves' defeated challenger Brandon Presley, who raised more money and made an aggressive push to give Democrats a rare statewide victory in the Deep South, the race was unusually competitive for this GOP stronghold. But Reeves prevailed with a message focused on job creation, low unemployment and improvements in education. He also cast Presley as a liberal backed by out-of-state donors who were out of step with Mississippi a Presley, a state utility regulator and second cousin of Elvis Presley, said Reeves had hurt the state by refusing to expand Medicaid to cover people working lower wage jobs that do not provide health insurance. Not too bad for what the Democrat Super PAC Mississippi today called one of the most unpopular governors in America.
