Mississippi Governor Candidates to Square Off for Only Debate Ahead of Election

Mississippi Republican Gov. Tate Reeves and Democratic candidate Brandon Presley will have their only debate on Wednesday night, just under one week before the state's competitive gubernatorial election.

The hour-long debate will be televised at 7 p.m. and held in Jackson, Miss. It will be the only debate held between the two before the election.

The race between the pair has been competitive, with Presley announcing a record-breaking fundraising total for the state last month. For his part, Reeves is hoping to win a second term in the traditionally red state.
