WASHINGTON (AP) — Voters in Mississippi will cast their ballots on Nov. 5 in the race for the White House, U.S.
Senate and U.S. House.
In the presidential race, Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican former President Donald Trump will compete for the state’s six electoral votes. Seven independent and third-party candidates will also appear on the ballot, including Jill Stein and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
, who dropped out of the race in August and endorsed Trump. Incumbent Republican Sen. Roger Wicker, who has held the office since 2007, faces a challenge from Democrat Ty Pinkins in his bid for a third full term.
The state’s four representatives to the U.S. House — three Republicans and one Democrat — are up for election in safe seats.
Voters will also cast ballots for judicial races. Mississippi has been reliably Republican for decades. The state last voted for a Democrat in 1976, when Jimmy Carter defeated incumbent Republican President Gerald Ford.
