Mississippi Democrats on Tuesday will decide between longtime representative Bennie Thompson and his 34-year-old primary challenger in a race that reflects generational struggle for control of the party.

Thompson, a 78-year-old civil rights leader who chaired the House 6 January Committee and serves as a ranking member on the House Homeland Security Committee, has held his seat for more than three decades, AP reports.

He is running against Evan Turnage, an antitrust lawyer who previously worked for top Democrats in Washington, and Pertis Herman Williams III, who has called for a new era of leadership.

Turnage is part of a wave of young Democrats who are hoping to oust older incumbents and usher in a new era. He has staked his candidacy on a message of economic populism and cast himself as a leader capable of understanding and regulating Big Tech and artificial intelligence.

Turnage faces an uphill battle against Thompson, who has more than $1.5 million in his bank account. Since mid-December, Turnage’s campaign has raised just over $200,000 and has a little under $40,000 left to spend

Posing an additional challenge is Thompson’s incumbency advantage.

Marvin King, an associate professor of political science at the University of Mississippi, said Thompson’s 17 terms in Congress have made him an institution in a state where voters tend to reelect incumbents.

“He’s basically been there like half of people’s lives on average,” King said. “No other challenger has effectively shown why Bennie Thompson should be dethroned.”

Thompson has faced a few meaningful challengers from both the right and left, but none of his races have been considered close, King said.

Georgia voters are heading to the polls to choose a successor in Congress to Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Republican former prosecutor Clay Fuller is likely to come out of Tuesday’s jungle primary, in which the top two candidates go to a runoff regardless of party, alongside retired army general Shawn Harris, a Democrat.

“,”elementId”:”fc89b387-7ba0-4e4a-a01f-8e11a7fab686″},{“_type”:”model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.TextBlockElement”,”html”:”

The two would face a run-off election on 7 April.

Fuller has Trump’s endorsement and had raised more than $1m leading into voting Tuesday, but Harris, who faced Greene two years ago, has raised more than four times as much.

Even though four Republican candidates dropped out before the election, the Republican field is fractured between more than a dozen candidates, including former state senator Colton Moore, a combative agitator to the right of most Republican legislators in Georgia.

“This is an interesting case to see how powerful Trump’s hold over the party is in that particular district,” said Kerwin Swint, a political science professor at Kennesaw State University who lives in the district at stake.

“,”elementId”:”930dc06c-efef-431d-8a14-0b6371dc1d6e”},{“_type”:”model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.TextBlockElement”,”html”:”

Swint said the most likely outcome was Harris finishing first without a majority, while the field of a dozen Republican candidates splits the party’s vote, leaving either Fuller or Moore to claim the second runoff spot.

Swint added that Harris was almost certain to lose to the Republican in the runoff, given the district’s conservative leanings.

Greene, also a firebrand on the right, broke hard against Trump last year, beginning by questioning his first strike on Iran in June, then by sounding alarms during budget talks that the end of healthcare subsidies would wreck her constituent’s finances.

The administration’s resistance on the Epstein files was the last straw; Trump and Greene turned on each other, leading to Greene’s resignation in January to avoid a contentious, divisive primary challenge.

    As oil prices surged amid the widening war with Iran, Donald Trump said that the conflict could be over “very soon” while threatening even more aggressive action if Tehran moved to cut off global energy supplies. During back-to-back appearances in Florida, Trump said the US had taken a “little excursion” to the Middle East “to get rid of some evil” but suggested the war, now in its second week, was ahead of schedule and near completion.

    Trump renewed his push for the Save America Act, a curtailment of voting access, after threatening on Sunday not to sign any bills until Congress approves the legislation. “All voters must show proof of citizenship in order to vote,” Trump said during remarks on Monday at a Republican event in Miami. “No mail-in ballots, except for illness, disability, military or travel.” More here.

    Pete Hegseth, the US defense secretary, has said “there will be more casualties” in the US military from the Trump administration’s war in Iran after officials confirmed on Sunday that the number of US service members killed had climbed to seven. He portrayed Trump’s decision for the US to join Israeli attacks on the Middle East country as essential “to advance American interests, and protect American lives”. More here.

    A golf club company backed by the sons of Trump is merging with drone manufacturer Powerus in a deal designed to take the drone technology company public. The merger with Aureus Greenway Holdings is the latest in Eric and Donald Trump Jr’s growing investments in the drone sector, following last month’s $1.5bn tie-up between Israeli drone maker XTEND and Florida-based JFB Construction Holdings.

    Claudia Sheinbaum has responded to Trump’s description of Mexico as the “epicenter of violence,” by calling on the US government to step up efforts to combat gun trafficking. “There is something that the US can help us a lot with: stop the trafficking of illegal weapons from the US to Mexico,” the president of Mexico said. “If they stopped the entry of illegal weapons from the United States into Mexico, then these groups wouldn’t have access to this type of high-powered weaponry to carry out their criminal activities.” More here.

Избиратели Миссисипи решат, отправлять ли представителя Томпсона обратно в Вашингтон

Демократы штата Миссисипи во вторник примут решение между давним представителем Бенни Томпсоном и его 34-летним основным соперником в гонке, которая отражает борьбу поколений за контроль над партией.

Томпсон, 78-летний лидер движения за гражданские права, который возглавлял комитет Палаты представителей по делам 6 января и является высокопоставленным членом Комитета внутренней безопасности Палаты представителей, занимает свое место более трех десятилетий, сообщает AP.

Он баллотируется против Эвана Тернейджа, юриста по антимонопольному законодательству, который ранее работал на ведущих демократов в Вашингтоне, и Пертиса Германа Уильямса III, который призвал к новой эре лидерства.

Тернейдж является частью волны молодых демократов, которые надеются свергнуть старых должностных лиц и возвестить новую эру. Он поставил свою кандидатуру на путь экономического популизма и представил себя лидером, способным понимать и регулировать большие технологии и искусственный интеллект.

Тернейджу предстоит тяжелая битва с Томпсоном, у которого на банковском счете более 1,5 миллиона долларов. С середины декабря кампания Тернейджа собрала чуть более 200 000 долларов, и осталось потратить чуть меньше 40 000 долларов.

Дополнительную проблему представляет преимущество Томпсона в должности.

Марвин Кинг, доцент кафедры политологии Университета Миссисипи, сказал, что 17 сроков Томпсона в Конгрессе сделали его институтом в штате, где избиратели склонны переизбирать действующих лиц.

«В среднем он прожил там половину жизни людей», — сказал Кинг. «Ни один другой претендент не смог эффективно показать, почему Бенни Томпсона следует свергнуть с престола».

По словам Кинга, Томпсон сталкивался с несколькими серьезными соперниками как справа, так и слева, но ни одна из его гонок не считалась близкой.
