Former President Bill Clinton and Congressman Jim Clyburn’s visits to Mississippi follow a growing list of national Democrats who have come to the state seeking to buoy Sccott Colom’s chances against incumbent Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith.
Former President Bill Clinton is coming to Mississippi to help boost U.S. Senate candidate Scott Colom and other Democrats ahead of Tuesday’s midterm Election.
Colom’s campaign confirmed Clinton’s appearance in Tupelo on Friday to WTVA.
“I am honored President Clinton is coming to Tupelo to highlight the issues that matter most for Mississippians, from the rising cost of gas and groceries to the negative impact tariffs are having on our farmers and small businesses,” Colom stated, per WTVA. “Those are the same issues Trump voters talked to me about when I walked the line of the Trump rally on Monday, and it’s why I know Mississippians are ready to fire Cindy High Prices on November 3rd.”
No details were announced on the time or location of Clinton’s visit as of Wednesday afternoon.
Colom is the Democrat nominee for U.S. Senate in Mississippi seeking to unseat incumbent Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith. Independent candidate Ty Pinkins is also on the November 3 ballot with Colom and Hyde-Smith.
Clinton’s visit to Mississippi follows a growing list of national Democrats who have come to the state seeking to buoy Colom’s chances against Hyde-Smith.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris recently visited Mississippi for Colom as has Georgia U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock, Delaware U.S. Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester, Maryland U.S. Senator Angela Alsobrooks, and New Jersey U.S. Senator Cory Booker, and former Biden-era U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
Colom’s campaign also announced Wednesday that South Carolina Congressman Jim Clyburn would join the Democrat candidate in Jackson on Thursday of this week as the two “come together to stand up for voting rights and make sure every Mississippian’s voice is heard.”
