by Mississippi Today, Mississippi Today November 1, 2023 Republican Gov. Tate Reeves and Democratic challenger Brandon Presley will square off Wednesday night in their first and only debate before the Nov. 7 gubernatorial election.

If you’ve watched television in the past three months, you’ve seen plenty of attacks from both campaigns. Reeves has called Presley “a liar” who is well-funded from “California and New York.” Presley has called Reeves corrupt and drawn attention to the governor’s ties to the state’s massive welfare scandal.
