I'd go off on a limb and say Tilt D

[Spectator]

No shot. It’ll be single digits, but no shot it flips if it couldn’t be done in 2019.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

It's a Tossup in MS and KY G they are within MOE and a Runoff in LA they haven't poll any of them lately

[Alben Barkley]

Brandon Presley will call on the spirit of his dead cousin to get thousands of Mississippi voters to watch his performance of "If I Can Dream" and it will inspire them to go to the polls to vote for Presley in overwhelming numbers.

If this was a Disney movie, that is.

[I’m not Stu]

Safe R

[Xing]

Safe R, even if Reeves wins by an underwhelming margin.

[SnowLabrador]

Safe R. It's Mississippi.

[Penn_Quaker_Girl]

Safe R. It's Mississippi.

This should be the state's new motto. 

[SnowLabrador]

Safe R. It's Mississippi.

I might not agree with you on everything, but I think I agree on this.

[Sir Mohamed]

Safe R

[Del Tachi]

Likely R.

[President Johnson]

Safe Republican.

I predict Reeves to win 55-42%.

[Galeel]

Safe R. It's Mississippi.

All that needs to be said really

what happened to phillip gunn running in this race

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Likely R rapidly approaching Safe R

[Ferguson97]

Likely R. It's not happening, but unique circumstances in the race (Presley being a strong candidate, Reeves being a horrible candidate) keep it from being Safe R, but ultimately the partisanship of the state will be just too strong. I think, at best, Presley could see a high-single digit loss.

A mental exercize: would Jim Eastland-type candidate (i mean Eastland of 1970th, not 1950th, i.e. - conservative, but, essentially, not overly racist anymore) win governor election NOW (suppose - he is running unopposed in primary, and nomination is guaranteed), or Democratic label would sink even such candidate? Does final result depends on candidate and his/her views or purely on party membership?

I think it would come down to incumbency.  Jim Hood would have been re-elected as AG in 2019, and I think he could have again this year.  Incumbent senator Hob Bryan is a Democrat who represents a 57/40 White district (SD-07.)  He's drawn a semi-serious GOP challenger this year but is still expected to win.  If he loses in an upset it would be confirmation that the Democrat label is 100% toxic to White voters in MS.

Presley just came out in favor of kids transitioning...
Somehow this issue is something literally no democrats stray from the party line on, even for self-proclaimed "blue dogs" on Mississippi.
I support it but in a race like this it's bad politics.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

I put it Lean D

Any single-issue anti-trans voter was never going to vote for Presley.

[Gracile]

Safe R. This could end up being surprisingly close, but the Republican vote is just too inflexible for Presley to pull out a win.

It positions him on the left side of the culture war, and if he's going to win in Mississippi Presley can't let Reeves portray him as socially left. This is Mississippi, being pro-trans is NOT a good strategy as a Democrat if you're already in an uphill battle.

Thanks! I watch that race too...

[TDAS04]

The Democrat will lose, whether it’s a gay black liberal greenie or Theodore Bilbo’s ghost. Pressley will decisively lose.
