In the upcoming Senate election in Mississippi on November 5, 2024, Republican incumbent Senator Roger Wicker will be facing off against Democratic nominee Ty Pinkins. Senator Wicker, first elected in 2008, is a graduate of the University of Mississippi School of Law.
Currently, the United States Senate is composed of 51 Democrats and 49 Republicans. In Mississippi, the population demographics show that Non-Hispanic Whites make up 57% of the population, followed by Black individuals at 38%, Hispanics at 4%, and Asians at 1%.
Mississippi has consistently leaned towards the Republican party in recent elections. In 2020, Donald Trump won the state by a margin of 16.5%, and in 2016, he won by 17.8%. Senator Roger Wicker secured a victory in the 2018 Senate race with a comfortable 19.0% margin. Given the state’s strong Republican lean, it appears that the upcoming election in Mississippi may be more of a formality than a closely contested race.
