SUNHERALD – Hyde-Smith accepts Farm Bureau debate; Espy considering it
A Republican U.S. senator in Mississippi is accepting an invitation to debate her Democratic opponent a week before the Nov. 27 runoff, but it was not immediately clear whether the event will happen.
The Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation is organizing a Nov. 20 debate in Jackson, with plans for it to be televised…
…Democrat Mike Espy’s campaign was reviewing “terms and conditions” before deciding whether to accept the group’s invitation, campaign spokesman Danny Blanton said.
Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith endorsed by law enforcement
I’m proud to have the support of law enforcement officers from all across our state! These officers take risks in defense of our homes and families each and every day, and on the behalf of all Mississippians, we are grateful for your service. We MUST stand up for our police! pic.twitter.com/Vs5EN0Lym1

CLARION LEDGER – Chris McDaniel talks Trump, Hyde-Smith and the governor’s seat after Senate defeat
Republican McDaniel said he wants to help unite the state GOP, supports his former opponent Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in her Nov. 27 runoff against Democrat Mike Espy and is open to helping her in her continuing campaign.
McDaniel attributes his failing to make the runoff to one factor: President Donald Trump — whom McDaniel says he still “adores” — endorsing Hyde-Smith...
…So what’s next for McDaniel? There have been rumors of a gubernatorial run next year.
“I hear those same rumors,” McDaniel said. “… Yes, sir, it’s possible. But before those decisions, I want to do my part to unite the party. Once we win this seat and defeat Mr. Espy, then I’m going to clear my thoughts, sit back and think about it, pray about it and discuss it with my friends and family and determine what’s in the best interest of this state and our country.”
#MSSen: Hyde-Smith camp hits Espy over Soros ties
Let’s be clear: Any candidate who has uber-Liberal George Soros’ endorsement is someone who needs to be kept far away from the U.S. Senate. To date, Soros has pledged thousands in support of Mike Espy’s campaign — and Mississippians have a right to know the truth. pic.twitter.com/xc1GgvUZqf
