Republican Gov. Tate Reeves and Democratic challenger Brandon Presley traded barbs at a conference for Mississippi's business leaders.
by Geoff Pender, Mississippi Today October 26, 2023 Incumbent Republican Gov. Tate Reeves told business leaders Thursday that Mississippi is thriving, but that would change if voters don't reelect him in two weeks as out-of-state, radical liberals would take over. "Over 80% of my opponent's money is coming from out-of-state," Reeves told about 1,500 business leaders at the state chamber of commerce's annual Hobnob event in Jackson."...
" He said the state faces a health care crisis, with dozens of hospitals facing closure, and a corruption crisis — the welfare scandal in which tens of millions of dollars meant to help the poor in Mississippi were stolen or squandered. "Tate doesn't want to talk about it," Presley said."Thirty-four of our hospitals are at risk of closure ... We have a solution staring us in the face, but for the pettiness of Tate Reeves.
