NEW: Democratic Mississippi US Senate candidate Mike Espy raised more in one day than any candidate in state history after Justice Ginsburg& #39;s death.
His $500,000 weekend haul is more than triple what the GOP incumbent raised over a three month period. https://www.mississippifreepress.org/5880/mike-espy-breaks-fundraising-record-after-ginsburgs-death-as-hyde-smith-backs-trump/">https://www.mississippifreepress.org/5880/mike...

Along with a record-breaking surge in campaign donations, hundreds of new volunteers signed up this weekend to help the Espy campaign make calls and send text messages to potential voters. https://www.mississippifreepress.org/5880/mike-espy-breaks-fundraising-record-after-ginsburgs-death-as-hyde-smith-backs-trump/">https://www.mississippifreepress.org/5880/mike...
Mike Espy: "“That’s Mississippi—the landmass that they overlooked. ... So I look at that and think about what’s been done to our campaign by the Democratic establishment in Washington. They’re overlooking this Mississippi possibility—they really are.” https://www.mississippifreepress.org/5880/mike-espy-breaks-fundraising-record-after-ginsburgs-death-as-hyde-smith-backs-trump/">https://www.mississippifreepress.org/5880/mike...
Mike Espy& #39;s top issue is health care. He wants to build on the Affordable Care Act with lower prices and greater options for more people, he says.
But Justice Ginsburg& #39;s death means the ACA is now in peril with the court set to hear a case in November. https://www.mississippifreepress.org/5880/mike-espy-breaks-fundraising-record-after-ginsburgs-death-as-hyde-smith-backs-trump/">https://www.mississippifreepress.org/5880/mike...

By July, Democrats had given more than $47 million to Amy McGrath in Kentucky.
Espy, who only had $1.35 million by the same point, was down just 5 points in the latest poll, after being down 8 in another.
He has laser focused his campaign on health care. https://www.mississippifreepress.org/5880/mike-espy-breaks-fundraising-record-after-ginsburgs-death-as-hyde-smith-backs-trump/">https://www.mississippifreepress.org/5880/mike...

Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith: “Justice Ginsburg devoted her life to the law, becoming one of the most respected & influential women in our time...President Trump & the Senate now have the solemn duty to fill that vacancy, a process that should not be delayed." https://www.mississippifreepress.org/5880/mike-espy-breaks-fundraising-record-after-ginsburgs-death-as-hyde-smith-backs-trump/">https://www.mississippifreepress.org/5880/mike...
“Democratic party leaders have ignored our race for the U.S. Senate in Mississippi. They don’t think a Black man in Mississippi can win—and they continue to count out the South and Black voters." —Mike Espy https://www.mississippifreepress.org/5880/mike-espy-breaks-fundraising-record-after-ginsburgs-death-as-hyde-smith-backs-trump/">https://www.mississippifreepress.org/5880/mike...
Facts: @MikeEspyMS would be Mississippi& #39;s third Black US senator—but the first since 1881.
You read that right. 1881.
He& #39;d be the first MS Dem to win a Senate seat since 1982.
MS& #39;s last Democratic senators spent most of their careers as segregationists. https://www.mississippifreepress.org/5880/mike-espy-breaks-fundraising-record-after-ginsburgs-death-as-hyde-smith-backs-trump/">https://www.mississippifreepress.org/5880/mike...
