Looking to bolster its Senate majority, the GOP wheeled out its biggest gun Monday in Mississippi as President Trump rallied to bolster Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith ahead of Tuesdays run-off election.
In Tupelo, Mr. Trump said he needs Ms. Hyde-Smith in Washington and urged voters to keep her there.
Im here to ask the people of Mississippi to send Cindy Hyde-Smith back so we can make America great again, Mr. Trump said, after some praise for Tupelos most famous son, Elvis Presley. Dont empower the radical Democrats to return us to the failure of the past.
As expected, Mr. Trump basked in a warm reception in a state he won by 17 points over Hillary Clinton, and then the president drew a sharp contrast between Ms. Hyde-Smith and her challenger, former Democratic Mississippi congressman and a secretary in the Clinton administration, Mike Espy.
On judges, immigration, taxes and trade, Ms. Hyde-Smith would back his agenda while Mr. Espy would move in lockstep with Democratic leaders in Washington including, the legendary Maxine Waters, Mr. Trump said, referring to the liberal California congresswoman who has been a cheerleader for impeachment.
He was joined by Mississippis Republican leadership of Gov. Phil Bryant and Sen. Roger Wicker, as well as South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, whom Mr. Trump introduced as an important voice against the Democratic smear machine, that tried to derail the nomination of Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
The president had another rally slated for later in the night in Biloxi.

Hopefully Trump can drag even someone as inept as Hyde-Smith across the finish line and keep this seat in the GOP column.
We definitely need the seat.
Without a doubt. Lose this and the Republicans have 52 seats and are at the mercy of Collins, Murkowski, and Sasse.
“Lose this and the Republicans have 52 seats and are at the mercy of Collins, Murkowski, and Sasse.”
Don’t forget Romney... We REALLY need this seat, despite a few idiot Freepers that would rather we lose it.
I agree, we need the seat, especially with that worthless @ssh*le Willard taking Hatchs seat in January. Mehhhhhh.....
Let's Wrap This FReepathon Up, Folks!
We REALLY need this seat, despite a few idiot Freepers that would rather we lose it.

Name names.
We need this seat is right!
Are people dispatched to watch for voter fraud or any other dirty tricks? Hope so.
Yosemitest has been all over telling us he will not support Hyde-Smith.
I think we need the seat, but that we can do better in 2020.
Hyde-smith is an idiot. However, she’s OUR idiot, and she’s still better than Chucky Schumer’s House Servant Mike Espy..
Mr. Trump introduced South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham as an important voice against
the Democratic smear machine, that tried to derail the nomination of Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh.
Amazing! President Trump has a sharp mind and seemingly endless endurance. The rest of us need to start persuading people around us now, because 2020 will arrive quickly. Want to keep your freedoms or lose them?
We need to find that will to help others and endurance in ourselves, too.
Cool
Thanks for the pics, Liz!
Hyde-smith is an idiot. However, shes OUR idiot, and shes still better than Chucky Schumers House Servant Mike Espy..
Now there is your mistake. She is not OUR idiot. She is a bought and paid for K Street lobbyist idiot. She will be a reliable vote for them so the GOPe will carry her over the finish line.
I know...she’s Haley Bawbuh and Trent Lott’s girl. However, she’s still better than that Ambulance Chaser Mike Espy.
I heard Espy speak today and he sounded like a dunce. Its hard to believe he ever held an important position anywhere in our government.
She is only better because Trump is in the White House. Party loyalty will not be a one way street in my household. If the GOP wants our support they must respect our votes for Trump and the MAGA agenda.
