Mississippi elected officials respond to Biden withdrawing from presidential race
SUMMARY: President Joe Biden announced he is dropping out of the 2024 presidential race, eliciting swift responses from Mississippi officials. Republican Governor Tate Reeves praised Donald Trump on social media, asserting his strength had led to Biden’s exit. The Mississippi GOP circulated a pro-Trump ad, criticizing potential Democratic nominees. In contrast, Democratic Sen. David Blount expressed gratitude for Biden’s presidency, while U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson endorsed Kamala Harris to fill the nominee role. Biden’s decision comes after significant primary support, marking a notable moment in the election landscape, with Mississippi officials from both sides sharing their views.

SUMMARY: Months after Starkville’s only hospital went up for sale, the Oktibbeha County Board of Supervisors has selected Baptist Memorial Health Care as the potential buyer of Oktibbeha County Hospital (OCH) Regional Medical Center. The decision follows discussions with stakeholders, including Mississippi State University and the Greater Starkville Development Partnership. The county government, which has controlled OCH since 1973, determined that selling the hospital was necessary due to financial challenges and residents seeking care at other hospitals. The sale is expected to finalize by summer or early fall. Baptist Memorial Health Care, based in Memphis, owns multiple hospitals in Mississippi.
