“I challenge Roger Wicker right now he can debate me anywhere, anytime.” Sen. Chris McDaniel announces candidacy for 2018 U.S. Senate GOP Primary

By: Sarah Ulmer - February 28, 2018

It’s been a long wait but Sen. Chris McDaniel has finally announced he will enter the 2018 GOP Primary for United State’s Senate race against incumbent Roger Wicker (R).

Clarion Ledger attended the event and reported, “Some fights are worth having,” McDaniel said. “I can’t think of a better place to begin a fight like that than here in Mississippi.”

Among his plans if he’s elected, McDaniel said one of his first bills to introduce would be to establish term limits for Congress. He also reiterated he would not support DACA in any way and could focus on a balanced federal budget.

“I’m tired of electing people to Washington to score points for the other team,” McDaniel said. “We’ve been reaching across the aisle for 50 years what have we got? Twenty-one trillion reasons not to reach across the aisle any more.”
