Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves (R) has been re-elected for a second term, extending the Republican Party's two-decade hold on the governorship. Despite a large financial advantage and attacks from his opponent, Reeves won a majority of the vote, turning the race into a referendum on the two parties in a state that leans strongly Republican. His victory marks the first time a Republican has been re-elected governor in Mississippi since the 1990s, and he has promised to continue to work to make Mississippi a better place for all its citizens.
