Mississippi Republican Gov. Tate Reeves and Democratic challenger Brandon Presley insulted and spoke over each other several times in their only debate of a rough-and-tumble campaign season
Mississippi Republican Gov. Tate Reeves and Democratic challenger Brandon Presley insulted and spoke over each other several times Wednesday night in their only debate of a rough-and-tumble campaign season, presenting sharply contrasting plans for the state. The televised debate happened six days before the general election in a deeply conservative state where Republicans have held the governor's office for the past 20 years.
“Let me tell you this, governor: How ‘bout you talk about Caledonia and New Hebron?” Presley said, adding that Reeves doesn't have the “guts and backbone” to clean up corruption in state government. “You've been the chief cheerleader, with pompoms in your hand, for corruption,' Presley said. Reeves responded: “I went to breakfast in Caledonia last Monday morning, and I’m going to tell you something, Brandon. You’re going to get more votes in California than you get in Caledonia.
