Battle for the soul of the GOP: Candidates spar in pivotal Miami debate
SUMMARY: The Republican presidential debate in Miami highlighted deep divides within the GOP and a shift towards personal attacks rather than policy-driven discussions. Candidates clashed over issues such as abortion and foreign policy. Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy's heated exchange marked a low point in the debate. Haley's appeal to a big-tent policy platform positioned her as a leading moderate. However, the party still struggles with internal strife and an identity crisis. As the nation watches this unfold, the stakes are high, especially as President Joe Biden's popularity wanes. The outcome will shape the future of the GOP and the political landscape of the United States.

Reeves celebrates Medicaid expansion dying as Hosemann questions governor’s numbers
SUMMARY: Mississippi lawmakers did not agree on a Medicaid expansion plan during their session. Governor Tate Reeves, who opposes such expansions, celebrated the halt as a victory on social media, deeming it an “Obamacare Medicaid Expansion scheme.” The Senate's only vote on the issue showed more favor than opposition among Republicans but was not enough to override a veto. Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann pointed out that the House and Senate supported expansion but clashed over work requirements. Hosemann believes CMS may accept a work requirement in the future. Current costs would be largely federally covered, with Mississippi benefiting financially. Mississippi remains one of the few states without Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act, and rural hospitals are advocating for it to alleviate costs from uninsured patients.

Report: Mississippi’s unemployment rate reaches new record low
SUMMARY: Mississippi's unemployment rate has hit a historic low at 2.8%, announced by Governor Tate Reeves. This drop is attributed to advances in education, including a top-five ranking for pre-K quality and record-high high school graduation rates. Significant private investments, including a $10 billion project by Amazon Web Services and a $1.9 million EV battery plant, are also key contributors. These developments have resulted in thousands of new jobs, reinforcing Reeves' message that anyone seeking work in Mississippi can find a job. The downward unemployment trend began in March 2023 and has persisted into 2024.
