SUMMARY: The Mississippi Democratic Party is appealing a Hinds County Circuit Court judge's decision to reinstate gubernatorial candidate Bob Hickingbottom on the ballot. Hickingbottom, who is challenging party frontrunner Brandon Presley in the primaries, was removed by party officials in February over a failure to submit a statement of economic interest (SOEI) to the Mississippi Ethics Commission. The Mississippi Supreme Court has issued an order for both sides to file necessary paperwork to expedite the appeal process, as absentee voting for the August 8 primary elections is fast approaching.

SUMMARY: The U.S. House of Representatives removed Speaker Kevin McCarthy from his leadership role, with three out of four Mississippi representatives voting against the decision.
