How would you rate MS Gov Tate Reeves?

He is much different than Phil Bryant, always has been. Phil is a great campaigner, great at speeches and talking one on one. Not a policy guy and will never be the first or second smartest guy in the room.

Tate is an introvert and is weak at public speaking. Understands policy and has a backbone. Gets called a jerk a lot but when he needs to say no, he can say no. His crew is much more ethical than Phil Bryant's. Phil was weak and there were too many around him who worked angles and he allowed them to do it. Phil also left behind a bunch of ticking time bombs. The prison riots at MDOC, the DHS scandal, and now the Highway Patrol scandal because he just had to install Marshall Fisher as DPS Commissioner and run off the remaining good ones in leadership.

Tate reopened the state pretty quickly from Covid lockdowns as well.

What many don't realize is there are two crowds in the GOP: THE Haley Barbour bunch and the Phil Bryant bunch. They don't like each other, and I mean really don't like each other. Tate inherited the Barbour faction.

As for Dobbs decision, Reeves was Leftenent Governor when the law passed. In Mississippi, the LG runs the Senate and appoints the chairmen. Phil signed the legislation so that was a team effort.

The stealing of the flag from the people of Mississippi is unforgiveable.

As others have said, the flag issue I was not really happy about , but also… I can’t think the last time I noticed the new flag and got triggered by it. I’ve moved on

My big thing is he’s outspoken about not putting up with hyper woke shite and not letting trannies compete with girls.

That alone keeps a lot of the blue haired people away where they avoid the state at all costs bc it’s not tolerant for them and they still view it as Jim Crow era rampant racism throughout which of course it’s not .

That’s just fine by me.

My life is great here and other places are slowly sliding away ( looking at you Georgia.. be careful what you wish for by importing all those woke idiots in)

We are climbing up slowly the state rankings and education is not an overnight fix but we are vaulting up with the literacy rates for kids and that is an accomplishment

Well, you're about to see Medicaid Expansion pass and the Senate will probably kill school choice.

He will veto Medicaid Expansion although there are the votes to override. He would approve school choice if it got to his desk. It won't.

Yes it is when most of the people that are wanting it are leeches on society. They want to keep hospitals open in towns that's are losing population and everything in the town has deteriorated but hey let's pump millions into hospitals that are losing money instead of making people drive 1 hour away

I’ve heard St D’s is horrible.

Yup

I did not vote for Tate in the primary but have been pretty pleased with him. I honestly can’t think of one thing he has done. I have never been more proud to be a Mississippian than recently. We have our problems but do appear to be on the uptick

He has been a good Governor.
