Mississippi House primaries:
What's at stake?
Cindy Hyde-Smith, who was elected to the US Senate in a 2018 special election, is running unopposed in the Republican primary for a full term. Hyde-Smith's US Senate seat is rated likely or solid Republican by most major election forecasters, including the Cook Political Report and Sabato's Crystal Ball.
On the Democratic side, former US Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy, who ran against Hyde-Smith in the 2018 special, is favored to win the Democratic nomination to face Hyde-Smith again.
All four of Mississippi's House Representatives - three Republicans and one Democrat - are running for re-election, with GOP Reps. Michael Guest of Mississippi's third district and Steven Palazzo of the fourth district also facing multiple primary challengers from within their own parties.
Mississippi is a runoff state, meaning that if no one candidate in any of these primaries earns over 50% of the vote, the top two vote-getters would advance to a runoff to be held on March 31.
