@JoeBiden wants to take "AR-14s," tells workers he's "full of sh*t"… How does this play in Mississippi on Primary Day? https://t.co/zwVQwAQ2Rc

@MSGOP Chair @LucienSmith tells YP: “It’s difficult to predict turnout with certainty but I anticipate voting between 2012 & 2016 levels. We have 3 congressional district primaries and more Republicans than ever but haven’t had extensive advertising in the presidential primary.”

More than 415,000 voted in the @MSGOP Primary in 2016. @realDonaldTrump took over 47% and won the #mselex primary.
Will Republican turnout be similar with the nominees for President and U.S. Senate decided?

Over 227,000 voters in Mississippi cast their ballot in the 2016 @msdemocrats Primary. Nearly 83% went for @HillaryClinton while @BernieSanders took south of 17%.
Question for today's #mselex #Election2020 Primary is if Democrats will turnout in similar numbers for @JoeBiden.
