Congressional primary runoffs with incumbents are rare in Mississippi. This year, two of the state's Republican representatives are fighting to keep their jobs in runoffs against challengers from their own party.
U.S. Rep. Steven Palazzo is seeking a seventh term and was considered vulnerable after being accused in a 2021 congressional ethics report of abusing his office by misspending campaign funds.
U.S. Rep. Michael Guest is seeking a third term. He voted to create an independent commission to investigate the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and was forced into a runoff amid criticism that he was disloyal to former President Donald Trump.
Both Palazzo and Guest failed to cross the 50% threshold to win outright in their June 7 primaries. On Tuesday, Palazzo will go up against Mike Ezell, the sheriff of a coastal county, while Guest will face Michael Cassidy, a former Navy fighter pilot.

Cotton,
Are the incumbents RINOs?
One voted for the Jan 6th committee. That ia by default the definition of RINO and puts him in the company of lizard chaney.
“Are the incumbents RINOs?”
Yes. Palazzo has a Conservative Review Liberty score of 63% - pathetic.
Guest has a score somewhat higher at 71%. But he also voted for the J6 committee.
So both need to go.
Also, Guest has been encouraging Democrats to vote in the Republican primary to save his ass.

Come on, Mississippi, get rid of this duplicitous phoney!
Which is why the GOPe will never get rid of open primaries. It's how the Uniparty defeats MAGA candidates. That sorry-ass Rat-booger in GA made it across the line because of Democrats crossing over to vote the primaries.
Will be voting for Ezell on Tuesday.
No ‘risk’ at all and very good news if they lose and two MAGA candidates take their place.
RINO’s be gone
#MAGA
Pallazzo needs to go. He ran on getting rid of that “career” politician before him, Gene Taylor.
Now he won’t go away.
Tired of the liars.
