Mississippi Republican Gov. Tate Reeves and Democratic challenger Brandon Presley are about to face off in their only debate. It's scheduled to happen Wednesday night, six days before the Nov. 7 election. The two men have proposed significantly different platforms for governing Mississippi.
Mississippi Republican Gov. Tate Reeves, who is seeking reelection, speaks with supporters at a campaign breakfast at a Columbus, Miss., restaurant, Monday, Oct. 23, 2023. Reeves faces the Democratic nominee Brandon Presley, current Mississippi Public Service Commissioner for the Northern District, in his bid for reelection, on Nov. 7. Democratic nominee for governor, Brandon Presley, current Mississippi Public Service Commissioner for the Northern District, left, shakes the hand of Rev.
Presley advocates expanding Medicaid to people earning modest wages who don’t receive health insurance through their jobs. Reeves says he does not want to add hundreds of thousands of people to a program he calls “welfare.”while he’s been in office, and he’s pushing a full elimination of the state income tax.
Presley called on Reeves to take part in five debates, including one last month at a forum sponsored by the NAACP in Gulfport. But Reeves agreed to only one. It’s scheduled to take place at 7 p.m. CDT in the studio of“I think we could have had a much more robust campaign on the issues out there, had the voters been able to see us five times between Oct. 1 and Election Day,” Presley said after the Hobnob event. “But it’s obvious the governor chickened out of doing those debates.
The Associated Press asked Reeves last week in Columbus about the discrepancy between what he said — multiple debates — and what he agreed to do.
