Democratic organizations, activists, and lawmakers believe they can defeat the Republican incumbent in the 2023 Mississippi gubernatorial election due to multiple controversies haunting the governor.

“Governor Tate Reeves has failed the people of Mississippi. Under his watch, cronyism is running rampant and taxpayers are facing the largest public corruption scandal in state history, while good job opportunities, health care, and clean water continue to be out of reach for too many families,” Democratic Governors Association (DGA) Deputy Communications Director Sam Newton told The Epoch Times.
