First Consul Tate Reeves issued the following statements on social media.
(1) Just to clarify, I said I expect lawmakers to redraw congressional lines BETWEEN NOW and 2027 elections!
I also expect them to redraw legislative and Supreme Court lines between now and 2027 elections!
(2) Bennie Thompson calls MS-2 “my congressional district.”
No Sir.
MS-2 is not YOUR congressional district. It is the people of Mississippi’s!!
Congressman Bennie G. Thompson’s reign of terror on MS-2 is over. It is not a matter of “IF…”
Just a matter of “WHEN!”

But, but, Bennie just needs a few more years to move his people in the Delta out of poverty.
Little Shadrack provoked Tater to one-up him.
It's about time for Benny to go. He should not be allowed to cause any more damage to the people of this state.
If Republicans don’t redistrict Bennie out there will be plenty of Republicans voted out.
Why?
The sec will be worth $42.37 in 2 short years….watch
I had a feeling the special session was really about the congressional districts and the upcoming midterms, and had nothing to do with Judge Aycock decision that is currently on appeal at the 5th Circuit.
But I guess Tate Reeves got too much pushback to throw out the primaries that already took place.
He can't. There is a 2004 Supreme Court decision holding once elections are underway, then the rules or district lines can't be changed.
Once again, Tate - nearing the end of his tenure - surprises me with his (mostly) sensible and measured response.
And, ole Big Ears yelling and screaming, with the caveat that the challenger to the throne is not bound by the truth, the law or political realities.
Tate is clearing the path for Chokwe to run for Benny's seat after the acquittal.
Better be careful. Depending on how things shake out in the future conceivably you could accidentally convert 2 barely D districts.
Bennie Thompson should have enough money by now. He rode his gerrymandered wave all the way to the federal money trough where he sat down and has done nothing but become an auto-vote for the Democrat party while enriching himself beyond measure.
I don't want R districts or D districts. I want compact, reasonable districts where the voters get to chose their reps - not the reps choosing their voters.
12:57 - I'd be willing to bet that you're the guy that tells the same fart-joke to everyone multiple times, whilst forgetting that you've already told it to them multiple times.
Bennie has not said a word or helped in any way champion the building of the Yazoo backwater pumps. 2000% in his district. That's an embarrassment. He is only here for the fish fry for votes get-togethers. The only white people he posts on his Facebook page are Trump and people he disagrees with. I challenge his constituents to name one thing he was instrumental in bringing to his district.
Lame ducks wasted the entire legislative session on school choice propaganda, mobile sports betting & NIL but thank you for not double dippin into our treasury a little more with that special ed session.
He won't win should he run.
I am waiting on the standard, “still work left to do” BS from Thompson.
Bolton looks like shit except for "special " places. If nothing else, home should have had streets of gold. These poverty pips, regardless of ethnicity, need to be gone.
Kingfish, what 2004 SC case says once elections are underway, then the rules or district lines can't be changed?
Those famous "Bolton fish fries" are soon to be an irrelevant election tool for the distinguished Congressman.
1 billion dollars for the jackson water and sewer system to start - $50 mm grant to move rail lines and structurally repave (water sewer gas electoral ) from Capitol street to the county line…..and much more than that…
All paid for with his office funds.
Solid proof that Shad's influence is limited to online rants.
Bennie be living rent free in a lot of peoples' minds.
Bennie has not accomplished shit agains the republicans in his many years in Congress. Why ya'll so obsessed with him?
2:55 - Let me correct that for you. Bennie been living getting rich off all the poor people he's supposed to have been serving.
2:13, don’t forget the failed Jan 6th committee he headed. He is an embarrassment to this state. His district is the poorest in the state. He has really done a good job for his constituents.
