Governor Tate Reeves qualified to run for re-election yesterday at Mississippi Republican Party headquarters in Jackson.
A gaggle of reporters looked on as Governor Reeves touted his conservative leadership. He said his administration returned nearly $600 million dollars in tax cuts to the taxpayers while signed a record teacher pay raise into law. He discussed the Dobbs decision, a possible Waller candidacy, education progress, Jackson's current water crisis, and expansion of Medicaid post-partum coverage. The presser is posted below.

Can’t wait for another 4 years of Tatur Tott!
Well I have voted for TATER every time he has run for an office, but I "WILL NOT VOTE" for him again!!!!! Hey Tater, "remember the flag, let the people decide'!!!!! You didn't do that!!!! YOU LIED!!!!!!!
Head Clown runs for re election. A volleyball court for everyone, and tax breaks for my friends!!!!! Huzzah.
Tater Two Point Zero gonna be more of the same.
5:22, a flag is you only reason to oppose him? Get a life.
5:22 PM
That's funny. I voted for Hood last round (mostly because of something documented in Dispatches from Pluto and a distant relative on my wife's side), but I'll be voting for Reeves this time.
David Archie supports Bill Waller.
Lil Tater can win without my vote this time. And he will win without my vote, but only one of us will be keeping to the principle of doing what he says he’ll do, and that will be me.
I'm hoping Bill Waller Jr runs again.
A M E N !!! to:
... Hey Tater, "remember the flag, let the people decide'!!!!! You didn't do that!!!! YOU LIED!!!!!!!
Some of y'all need to blame Phil, not Tate, for Phil's shortcomings. I will slam down hard to elect Tate Reeves again.
I agree with 6:44, he’ll win without my vote. Mostly because the MS Republican Party makes sure only someone who has the size tolerance for Haley Barbour’s hand up their ass is nominated. But I do hope that every small business owner that was crippled or put out of business by Reeves’ nonsense COVID response sits this election out.
I'm hoping Bill Waller Jr runs again as well, so that his thin-skin can get punctured again. For his crying after the last election, saying it was "so dirty" exposed him for what he is - and his failure to support the Republican nominee after losing shows that he is nothing more than a narcacissist that sat on the bench too long.
And if he does run, at least Josh will finally have found someone that will fund his lifestyle this season; he's been looking far and wide.
5:22. LB. !!!!! Settle down. You are 78 now. And start tithing for once.
Tater is such an empty suit. My vote is for Waller.
I'm hoping Bill Waller Jr runs again.
So does David Archie.
I'm voting for him, he's been good on gun rights
Y'all have elected him for the past 20 years.
The voters will not go against Tate! Ms voters don’t care so Tate you are safe my buddy!
We can keep Tate but Lynn has to GO!
We need Lynn and Shad gone so we can question lynn about that 5k she received from New in the last election. If Shad and Lynn is gone that’s the start of the state biggest fraud case where millions was stolen from welfare.
Can’t wait to vote for someone else
He said that he doesn’t like being in Jackson. So let’s not give him a job that is based in Jackson. Be nice to Tate and vote for someone—anyone—else.
Why is anyone surprised anymore when MS has crooked elected officials? Andy Taggart wrote a history book about it, no? Just because the Sun & Sand hasn't been around in several years doesn't mean that business has stopped.
If a flag is all some of you are concerned about then you’re shallow. What he accomplished with the COJ water issue was very impressive. Now, let’s just agree that the past 5 mayors did not take how serious it is to maintain your infrastructure. Tate did an outstanding job by assembling the people he did to get the water treatment facilities up and running when he should not have had to do that in the first place. It’s not up to the State to make sure jackson has water, It’s up to the mayors past and present to perform maintenance. Sure, I will vote for him again. As far as a State flag goes, there is only one flag I am loyal to and you should be also. If I never see a state flag on a pole again it sure won’t hurt my feelings. I never look for one to begin with. You could put someone plated in Gold on the ballot and there would still gripe.
Can't wait to see the democrat candidate and whether he drives for KLLM or JB Hunt.
#OneTermTate
I hope Delbert takes on Tate. There are plenty of moderate Democrats who will vote for Delbert. I know you Trumpsters love Tate, but he is one of the worst Governors in MS history and the butt of jokes across the country.
Mayor Lumumba for Governor! Rukia Lumumba for Auditor. Safiya Omari for AG.

Just kidding. I put the crack pipe down.
How about we stop wearing the same old clothes, and instead go out and buy something new.
Lmao at all the seething. MS Democrats can't field a half way decent candidate.
'there are plenty of moderate democrats who will vote for Delbert'
That's because he's a democrat. He was rolled into state government on wooden wheels just like the Trojan Horse.
I'm lukewarm for Tate at best, but the COJ water crisis handling secured my vote for him. He improved that situation and did not sugarcoat things for the PC crowd.
Not voting for him based on the Flag removal is almost as bad as the voters of Jackson who would still vote for Chuckie solely because he is black.
Just keep placing your vote based on things that don't equate to competent leadership, and see where you end up. Although I must agree, MS cant get much worse and I too am so tired of voting for the least horrible options in state and federal cases.
I am going to vote for Bill Waller Jr. Like it or not, “Obamacare” is here to stay. Mississippi is one of only 12 states that has not expanded Medicaid for the working poor. The federal government would fund 90% of Medicaid expansion. Why not get the benefit of our federal tax dollars instead of our tax dollars going to the other 38 states that have expanded Medicaid. It’s a no brainer.
6:57. I guess I don't have a problem with Waller running again. But, he shouldn't be able to run as a Republican given that his campaign platform essentially adopts the MS Democratic Party platform. Higher taxes. More Government. More Welfare. A Democrat wants to run? Fine. Run as a Democrat.
@9:34am - That’s the great thing about America. You can lie all you want and still be elected.
9:34 = Same and fully agree.
Let him run, but for the party he represents.
I will not vote again until Mississippi changes to hand counted paper ballots.
5:22 and 7:52, y'all are so ick.
And what is with ultra right wingers calling every Republican but themselves Democrats? Gross. This faction in Congress is so embarrassing.
Even though he is crashing at his Flowood crib due to lack of water in Jacktown, Tater still qualifies. It is interesting to note that the Rankin Co. bureaucrats have removed his address from the assessor's database, but it is still all over the web.
Andy Taggart wrote a book about 'crooked' right after he pulled out of the supervisors' race, after the qualifying deadline, purposefully leaving nobody on the ballot but D.I.Smith. Talk about crooked. But then you people got Steen, so it's been Karma Round-Robin with enough crooked to go 'round.
Haley got elected because his family owns the party. Tate got elected because he's easily managed by his handlers (Haley, et al). Fitch continues to be elected because who the hell knows. The era of the 'red dress' is over. It's time for competency.
'Head Clown runs for re election. A volleyball court for everyone, and tax breaks for my friends!!!!! Huzzah.'
Ah, it was Phil who built the volleyball arena at his alma mater.
What tax breaks? Did you mean income tax breaks, like for those who actually have...wait for it...incomes?
I'm for Waller and Medicaid expansion.
I have not voted democrat since I graduated college, but isn't George Flaggs running for governor? I've respected him since the first time he appeared on Gallo, many years ago.
One thing for damned sure...Haley doesn't own George. Neither do all those white-haired guys downtown at Republican headquarters.
