Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith issued the following statement.
U.S. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.) today issued the following statement regarding the possibility of being asked by President-elect Donald Trump to serve as Secretary of Agriculture:
“It’s an honor to be mentioned as a potential nominee for Secretary of Agriculture, but my plans are to remain in the Senate and continue to deliver for the people of Mississippi. As a former state agriculture commissioner and with my current committee assignments, I remain wholeheartedly committed to the ag community, its growth, and its success. President Trump will always have my support, and I believe I can be most valuable to him and our country’s farmers and ranchers through my work in the U.S. Senate, particularly as we work toward a new farm bill and address other agricultural and economic issues. As I have stated previously, I plan to seek re-election in 2026.”

Very nice way to announce you didn't get picked
You weren't asked. Plus you voted for Thune.
Mississippi's only conservative US Senator.
5:15- first part true. Second part not relevant.
She wasn't asked, wasn't going to be asked. This is all a Mississippi story, not a DC one. But, she is a loyal Trumpite, worked hard for his election, and will be a valuable ally of his in the Senate.
If she wanted to leave the Senate for a lower level than Secretary, she could probably have it. But most Senators, especially those low in seniority but on Approps and a buddy of POTUS, would rather stay in the Senate than take a two year stint before being fired and out.
Thune is a good man. Here is yet another example of some delusional person who thinks that it is they alone who understands what it means to be a Republican. Please learn a lesson from the Dems about being so dogmatic. It’s a big country out there and there ain’t but two parties.
Thune is a RINO. He is part of the swamp. It is what it is, and that is why she voted for him. Its all personal agenda, not the betterment of America.
5:56, Thune is a good man if you believe the status quo that brought America to point of $35T+ in debt (but who's counting?); disastrous foreign wars and various unnecessary, smaller interventions; along with the constitutional catastrophe o.k.a. the "wahr on druugz"; a border invaded by every lowlife from south america and hostile eastern nationals was "good." But some of us disagree.
Here is yet another example of some delusional person who thinks ... Please learn a lesson ...
YYaaawwwnnnnn, SSSsssnnnorreee, ZZZzzzzZZZzz
6:55 and others love to use the term RINO for anyone with a half degree different view than Trump. It’s played. Meanwhile they’ll hail Gaetz the king of grifters as the savior of justice.
Thune and Cornyn are the favorite Republican senators of the Democrats.
I'm quite doubtful that Trump would ask CHS for this or any such position.
There has to be room for everybody. People who tell Republicans that they aren’t welcome unless you act and think a certain way will go the way of the Tea Party. Blue dogs and Yellow dogs meet Establishment vs MAGA. RINO is a stupid term.
Who put you in charge of party dogma? Settle down. It’s a big world out there.
@ "There has to be room for everybody."
No Karen, there does not.
Where is any evidence that she was on a short list? When it comes to 'farming', she's never been a farmer. Didn't her husband have some chickens or a bean garden or something equally as irrelevant to farming?
Neither Cindy nor the guy who appointed her to the senate have ever gotten mud on their boots and the only time they've seen or smelled cow shit was at the Dixie National riding on the back of a wagon.
On the very slim chance she would have been considered, by Trump, Tate was anxious to appoint Phil as her replacement.
Oh, is she still up there? You never hear from her until election time.
I dont think a lot of you RINOs and democrats realize that Donald Trump has a mandate from the people. You cheated again just like in 2020 but his support was so overwhelming that you simply didnt cheat enough to win again. You have been rebuked. The people want Matt Gaetz to release the evidence of corruption and treason. We the people want the traitors prosecuted and executed.
Room for everyone? Trump’s vote count says differently. We voted for an outsider for a reason. I fully expect him to act like it and that includes senate leadership too. I’m done with the establishment and pissed off my senator didn’t vote how her constituents told her to. So yeah, she wasn’t asked and this press release is a joke.
Any RINO who didn't loudly speak up, and went along with Dem agendas is suspect. And "anyone with half a view different than Trump" is really saying "anyone with half a few of the very large Electoral and Popular MAJORITY of Americans" whose values him in office to represent the Constitution to the letter. Time will tell, but RINOS are as delusional as DEMS and will lose, and be exposed for their "anti-American" stance which is chock full of unwanted compromise.
Great! Mississippi needs a strong, forceful, articulate, confident representative in Washington.
Yes, Heinrich. In a democracy it does. You seem to forget your civics lesson. You are free to move to some other state if you don’t like the one you are in. The difference is when the Karens or the Chads take over government and attempt to impose their beliefs through power on the rest of the population. That is when you fight back not when someone hurts your feelings because they don’t think like you. It’s called f-e-d-e-r-a-l-i-s-m.
Hyde-Smith is smart she knows how long those Trump appointments last! You are a Great! Great! person today Cindy, tomorrow depending Trumps mood you are a lousy Senator and person. You are safer in the Senate, it ain’t about your loyalty to Mississippi
@10:50 - No, there does not. The current culture war front line of Pop Culture proves the necessity of Gatekeeping.
Truth be told Trump can’t poach too many Senators because he needs them for approval of appointments and for passing legislation.
I find it humorous that there are some that think Trump, and his supporters, should alter their positions, when it is plain the left doesn't moderate theirs.
Hyde Smith has always and will always be a lightweight
Oh well. Mississippi's loss if she stays in the Senate.
We need to wake up in Mississippi, Cindy and Wicker are nothing more than establishment tools and they and along with their cronies will do everything to disrupt President Trump's agenda! Just look at their previous voting record and quit watching main stream media.
Well, we do have Uncle Ben who can mumble and stumble his way through a speech with the best of 'em.
Remember: Both Wicker and Bryant Hyde-Smith are in the senate today because they were put there by gubernatorial appointment and for no other reason. Imagine Tater having the opportunity tomorrow to appoint.
Another choice from MS would have been Andy Gipson, a.k.a. “The Hat”
Except, anon at 8:46, this is not a democracy. Turn your cap around.
You chide someone else for skipping civics class and there you sit, drinking a rum slurpy and chomping on Cheetos thinking our government is a democracy?
Senator Wicker will be Chair of Armed Services Committee. And decision maker over billions of $$. Mississippi will get a large chunk of those $$.
@5:46pm - Ah yes, keep them sweet sweet blue state dollars coming to this red shit hole.
Cindy = INEPT
But, but, how could Trump take away our democracy if we aren't a democracy. Those dems are so confused.
Do you think only people who think like you voted for him? Delusional.
Outsider? We are all Americans. I fully expect to have the same rights as the people who think they are the only ones who know what's right.
Suspect? Dang dude/dudette. Going to start some purges?
Please move to the place you imagine exists in your mind.
@11:05 PM Tolorating you cultural marxists is how we got trans grooming our kids. Trump has a mandate to clean house. The people have spoken. No more!
@9:39am - As opposed to all the non-trans pastors, coaches, teachers, lawmakers, etc. that have been grooming kids for millennia (that's thousands of years in case you need to Google that). The right-wing media (Fox News, Newsmax, Info Wars, etc.) that have been sued, lost, and made to pay hundreds of millions of dollars based on EVIDENCE PROVEN IN COURT of lying to you, still fills your tiny heads with this propaganda. And y'all eat it up because it keeps people that don't look like you or think like you down. But y'all keep on, Fascism is better than Marxism, I guess?
Mississippi has the best politicians that money can buy.
