Mississippi Democrat Mike Espy is running again for U.S. Senate against incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith, setting up a 2020 rematch of a race that churned up the state's painful racial history.
Catch up on the developing stories making headlines.
The campaign was rocked by a video showing Hyde-Smith praising a supporter by saying she'd attend a"public hanging" if he invited her. She called it an"exaggerated expression of regard." Qualifying for next year's party primaries begins Jan. 2. They'll be held on March 10, the same day Mississippians vote in presidential primaries. Party runoffs, if needed, will be March 31, leaving a long stretch for nominees to face off before the November generalNo Republicans have made any public moves to challenge Hyde-Smith in the GOP primary. During her time in office, Hyde-Smith has often been focused on rural issues and has remained loyal to President Donald Trump.
