With mid-term elections just a few weeks away, both parties are pulling out all the stops to sway voters’ minds their way.
With the GOP looking to maintain its slim majority in the Seante and with several Congressional seats up for grabs in November, the Mid-South has been receiving its share of attention from party leaders.
Vice-president Mike Pence included a stop in Arkansas last weekend, and next Tuesday, Southaven, Mississippi is set to receive a Presidential visit.
Officials for the Trump campaign tour have announced that the President will make a stop for a GOP rally at the Landers Center in Southaven on Tuesday, Oct. 2 at 7 p.m.
The “Make America Great Again” rally is the first visit to Southaven since Trump became president and is the fourth time he has been in Mississippi since he first began his race for the White House in June 2015.
During his Southaven stop, President Trump will touch on economic issues and its effect on Mississippi. He will also be speaking in support of Re- publican candidates to preserve party majorities in House and Senate in Washington.
“We are pleased to announce the next stop on our national midterm campaign tour with a Make America Great Again rally on Tuesday, the second of October, in Southaven, Mississippi,” said Michael Glassner, Chief Operating Officer for Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. “President Trump will update Mississippi patriots on the great success of his America First agenda that’s improving the lives of families across the Magnolia State. The President will also encourage Mississippians to get out and vote for Cindy Hyde-Smith in November.”
The rally will be open by general admission, however those wishing to attend must register for up to two tickets each through the website www.donaldjtrump. com/rallies/ms-oct-2018.
The Mid-South has been garnering more attention from candidates in recent years as voting patterns have shifted. During the 2016 presidential campaign, Dr. Ben Carson, a GOP presidential candidate who was later named U.S.
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development by President Trump, visited West Memphis, and Trump himself attended rallies in Little Rock and Hot Springs while on the campaign
trail.
Mississippi will have elections for both of its Senate seats and all four House seats in November.
