Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has been chosen to lead the Democratic Governors Association, a position that will involve him campaigning nationally during a crucial presidential election year.
A new poll released by the Democratic Governors Association (DGA) shows Republican incumbent Gov. Tate Reeves leading Democratic candidate Brandon Presley by just one point in the Mississippi governor's race. The poll indicates that both candidates are below the 50% threshold needed to avoid a runoff election. The DGA has invested a historic amount of money, $3.75 million, into Presley's campaign, helping him out-raise Reeves. However, there are concerns about the accuracy of the poll due to the DGA's affiliation with Presley's campaign. The poll was conducted by Public Policy Polling and surveyed 601 Mississippi voters, with a margin of error of 4%.
