Mike Espy (D) can win in Mississippi, yes you heard that right - he's now in a statistical tie

Brian Schatz @brianschatz

Mike Espy can win in Mississippi yes you heard that right - he’s now in a statistical tie with his opponent. This was WAY off the radar and I’m hoping my friend ⁦@CoryBooker⁩ can help w getting Mike the money he needs for all of us to ditch Mitch.

I just looked at the latest polling here:
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/20200921_MS.pdf

And they are right! The republican has slipped HUGELY down in popularity, and it’s now a 41%-40% , with 18% undecided. And the highest republican numbers are all the over 75 year old whites, who may, or may not show up.


I’ll chip in ten bucks just for fun.

Cindy Hyde-Smith was appointed by the governor in 2018 to finish Thad Cochran's Senate seat when Cochran resigned. I don't think she has ever actually won a race. Espy can win!

took the Senate seat from a racist white woman? Espy served as Bill Clinton's Secretary of Agriculture in the 1990s.

I'd love it if they could also send a little love to Mr Espy--and, frankly, I wish some of the progressive media would pay more attention to him. Things are crazy this year and even if he ends up losing, making repubs dedicate resources to more races is always a good thing.
