who they are voting for. usually i think i m pretty decent at getting folks to tell me. or voting for hyde-smith and would rather not talk about the controversies over race. one did tell us who he was voting for. do you mind giving us insight into what you re voting for here? smith. considered espy? yes. but the more i hear and remember about his time as the secretary of agricultural, i just don t trust him. anything about hyde-smith that gave you pause about voting for her? she s not as strong as i would like to see a senator be, but the stuff on the that
this is a very, very special person. you got to go out tomorrow, vote. we need her badly. nbc s vaughn hillyard has been following closely. he is in ridgeland where espy is about to vote. will mississippi elect its first woman to congress or the state s first black senator since reconstruction? stephanie, this is a busy polling location, just on the outskirts of jackson. having the conversation here with voters on the ground, we ve been trying to get a read. this is three weeks after election day. there s been a steady stream of voters coming in and out. some of these conversations, it s actually interesting. there s a lot of voters here that are unwilling to tell us
they kept dragging up to me was phony. the president of the united states had two rallies yesterday. the campaign now have more than 100 paid staffers on the ground. the democrat espy has been outspend 3-1. several folks we have talked to told us they d vote for cindy hyde-smith. she s the republican as they tell us in this race. joining me, a republican strategist. this is mississippi so does smith s campaign worry or do they have this in the bag? i think, you know, as someone that actually consults on campaigns, i got to tell you something that the strangeness
to do. there s a limit to your a built to affect economic outcomes by talking. or mary berra could have been standing next to ivanka trump who said with losing these jobs we re going to put them in workforce development program paid for in part by gm. inste instead, the president basically said, mary berra, you gonna get it. now, heading to the polls for a runoff. the incumbent appointed, not elected, appointed republican senator faces democrat espy in what has been a highly controversial race. that s a nice way to put it. despite hyde being blasted for comments on public hanging, the president came out strong on this republican candidate, holding two rallies in the state yesterday.
