SUMMARY: With just one day left before the general election, voters in Mississippi have important decisions to make, including in the gubernatorial race. Governor Tate Reeves, a Republican, highlighted his accomplishments during his time in office, such as achieving the lowest unemployment rate in state history, increasing employment opportunities, improving educational outcomes, and implementing tax cuts. Reeves also addressed the welfare scandal accusations, dismissing them as lies from his opponent. He criticized his opponent's funding mostly coming from out-of-state sources and emphasized his opposition to Medicaid expansion, instead advocating for a hospital plan to support rural hospitals financially.
