Mississippi Republicans split over potential congressional redistricting push
SuperTalk Mississippi reports a Republican split over whether Mississippi should redraw congressional lines after Callais. Shad White publicly urged a congressional redraw aimed at Bennie Thompson’s district, while Rep. Sam Creekmore and Sid Salter warned that adding congressional maps would create political, legal, and election-calendar risk after completed primaries. Reeves' May 13 rescission statement keeps the issue in the pressure/watch lane.
