For one week every summer, the Neshoba County Fair is the place to be to hear from Mississippi’s elected officials and those with ambitions to join them in office.
This year, on Wednesday and Thursday, the state’s most powerful leaders made their pitch for why they believe Republicans are due to win big in November.
“A red wave is coming in November,” Republican Gov. Tate Reeves said during his speech Thursday. “Joe Biden has driven us towards a cliff. Now, I would say that Joe Biden fell asleep at the wheel, but I’m pretty sure he nodded off long before he came to power.”
Reeves said he is more optimistic than he has ever been for Mississippi and the U.S, despite his views on the state of the country under the Biden administration.
“It took Jimmy Carter to give America the Reagan revolution,” Reeves said. “It’s always darkest before the dawn, and soon it will be morning in America again.”
