Democrat Ty Pinkins has jogged along highways and past cotton fields to try to draw attention to his effort to unseat Mississippi’s senior Republican U.S. senator, Roger Wicker. Pinkins acknowledges it’s a tough campaign. Republican-dominated Mississippi hasn’t had a Democrat in the Senate since John C. Stennis retired in 1989.
North Korea's long-range missile test signals its improved, potential capability to attack USTrump and Harris both support a bigger child tax credit.
“For every Mississippian that feels left out, left behind and forgotten, I’m running for you,” Pinkins, who estimates he has jogged about 900 miles to draw attention to his Senate race, said in a campaign video. “For those who care about women’s reproductive freedom, I am running for you. For those who are fighting for a more equitable economy for all Mississippians, I am running for you.”
Wicker, 73, is also a military veteran and attorney. He served in the state Senate before winning a U.S. House seat in north Mississippi in 1994. When Republican Sen. Trent Lott resigned in 2007, then-Gov. Haley Barbour appointed Wicker to fill the seat.
