On Wednesday afternoon, the President took to Twitter to announce his support for Republican Tate Reeves in Mississippi’s gubernatorial race ahead of November’s general election.
Mississippi, there is a VERY important election for Governor on November 5th. I need you to Get Out and Vote for our Great Republican nominee, @TateReeves. Tate is strong on Crime, tough on Illegal Immigration, and will protect your Second Amendment….

….He loves our Military and supports our Vets! Democrat Jim Hood will never give us his vote, is anti-Trump and pro-Crooked Hillary. Get Out and Vote for Tate Reeves on November 5th. He has my Complete & Total Endorsement!

Reeves responded with a tweet of his own thanking the President for his support in the race as he faces current Attorney General Jim Hood (D).
Thank you Mr. President! The Democrats are out-of-control and Jim Hood is completely with them. We have to stand together for the future of our great state. https://t.co/polcenbH1J

At a recent campaign event in Madison for the GOP candidates, Governor Bryant said that he hopes to see the President back in Mississippi before the election. President Trump made multiple trips to the Magnolia state in 2018 to campaign on behalf of Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith in her race against Democrat Mike Espy.
