Is Decatur Deb still around? Looks like a neighboring state could use his GOTV help :)
GOP’s Mississippi Senate candidate is in real trouble
Her handlers are telling her just to shut it for a another two weeks. Meanwhile, the NRSC is now being forced to spend $700,000 for an ad buy in freaking Mississippi. Cindy has zero accomplishments, so the ads will focus on attacking her Democratic opponent. (I can guarantee they will be very ugly. …
Besides the ad buy, Trump is holding not one, but two separate rallies right before the special election on Tuesday, November 27.Why is the GOP so worried? Cuz this:
Espy remains the underdog in the conservative state, but Republicans with access to private polling say Hyde-Smith’s lead has narrowed significantly in recent days.
Dem strategists say Mike Espy only needs roughly 30% of the white vote, and the candidate is going hard after the demographic that strongly rejected Trump this past election—suburban women. His campaign, Rise Above, has been a very positive contrast over Cindy Hyde-Smith’s.
…
“It turned the whole thing upside down … I knew who I was going to vote for before this. Now I don’t,” said a man named William, a white Republican and self-described “Trumpster” who voted for Hyde-Smith two weeks ago. He declined to provide his last name because he didn’t want to publicly disclose he was considering voting for a Democrat. “Mike Espy is a good guy. Nothing wrong with him.”
