Former President Bill Clinton will campaign in Tupelo on Friday for Democratic Senate candidate Scott Colom, the Colom campaign told Mississippi Today.
The former Democratic president’s trip to Mississippi will be the latest in a string of appearances by national figures hoping to turn out voters in the state’s heated Senate race between Colom and Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith. President Donald Trump and former Vice President Kamala Harris have each come to Mississippi over the past week to campaign for Hyde-Smith and Colom, respectively.
In a statement, Colom said Clinton would highlight issues important to Mississippi voters.
“I am honored President Clinton is coming to Tupelo to highlight the issues that matter most for Mississippians, from the rising cost of gas and groceries to the negative impact tariffs are having on our farmers and small businesses,” Colom said. “Those are the same issues Trump voters talked to me about when I walked the line of the Trump rally on Monday, and it’s why I know Mississippians are ready to fire Cindy High Prices on November 3rd.”
Colom’s campaign also told Mississippi Today that South Carolina U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn would campaign for Colom in Jackson on Thursday.
