Espy will face Hyde-Smith in November Senate election

Go Mike!!!

https://www.kentucky.com/news/business/article241081206.html

Former U.S. Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy won the Democratic nomination for a U.S. Senate seat in Mississippi on Tuesday, setting up a rematch with Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, an outspoken ally of President Donald Trump.

Republicans hold most major offices in Mississippi, which hasn't had a Democrat in the U.S. Senate since 1989.

Hyde-Smith was unopposed for the Republican nomination this year. She is the first woman to represent Mississippi in either chamber of Congress.
