Mississippi hasn't had a Democratic governor in two decades.
Democrat Brandon Presley — the second cousin of rock-and-roll legend Elvis Presley — is trying to oust Mississippi Republican Gov. Tate Reeves from the governor's mansion on Tuesday. And Presley may have a shot in the deep-red state. Mississippi hasn't had a Democratic governor in two decades, but the 46-year-old Presley, a moderate Democrat, is trying to change that.
The former director of the state's welfare agency pleaded guilty last year in a conspiracy to misspend the millions of dollars in the largest public corruption case in the state's history. Presley hasn't shied away from blasting Reeves over the matter. But under Reeves' leadership, Mississippi boasted a $4 billion surplus in 2022.
