JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - The name Chris McDaniel is one some Mississippians may recognize either as a state senator or a man who’s had several campaigns for U.S. Senate over the years. “We are here because of our great conservative legacy. From Kirk Fordice all the way to Tate Reeves, this party must learn to work together again if we were to accomplish old and great things for the state,” McDaniel said. The far-right Republican said he’s building his candidacy on original Republican beliefs and values, and wants to slow the growth of moderate and left ideologies. “There was no...

Today I saw two polls of voting intentions for Congress tomorrow and the difference is night and day. CNN claims that the vote will be Democrats 55 percent, Republicans 42 percent. Meanwhile, Rasmussen Reports says it will be Republicans 46 percent, Democrats 45 percent. Somebody must be doing this from outside a marijuana store in Canada. Of course President Trump laid it out on Twitter today tweeting about "Fake Voter Suppression Polls" from CNN. I noticed in Florida the various MSM polls showed leads for the Democrats for US Senate and Governor but pretty narrow ones considering the notion that...

"Cindy Hyde-Smith has been lying to the Mississippi voters, telling them that she can't debate because of her schedule, when in reality she's not doing it because she lacks the ability to answer difficult questions about her years as a DC lobbyist and her Democrat past" Conservative candidate Chris "Remember Mississippi" McDaniel comments on the Special Election campaign for a US Senate seat in Mississippi In 2014 veteran Washington insider Senator Thad Cochran (R-Mississippi) was forced into primary runoff with State Senator Chris McDaniel.

The facts about the Mississippi special election to replace Thad Cochran have been completely misrepresented by the GOP “Vote Red” campaign. Making voters believe that the senate race is the usual partisan showdown, the GOP has pressured President Trump to endorse the governor-appointed candidate Cindy Hyde-Smith who is a proven democrat in republican clothing. The MSGOP even went as far as to coerce McDaniel voters wearing...

Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss) in her fall bid for re-election, which will pit her in a tight race against State Sen. Chris McDaniel (R) among other opponents.

State Sen. Chris McDaniel is inching closer to a 2018 bid against U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker, spurred on in part by meetings this week with former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon. “I’m still undecided, but that victory (by Roy Moore in Alabama) last night makes the 2018 race much more compelling,” McDaniel told Mississippi Today.

In last June’s Mississippi GOP runoff, liberal Republican Thad Cochran engaged in mass election fraud to defeat conservative primary challenger Chris McDaniel.

When little known Chris McDaniel beat entrenched republican senator Thad Cochran in the first Mississippi primary of 2014 it triggered a series of events that became known simply as “Mississippi ’14“. The entrenched DC republican elite developed a plan to destroy McDaniel before the run-off primary. They decided to call McDaniel a racist, pay for print and broadcast attack ads, request help from black Mississippi pastors, and pay Democrats, preachers and voters to vote in the run-off election.
