Q: First, let's talk about the gubernatorial primary runoff, Rick Jackson beats Bert Jones. What do you think gave Jackson the edge in this race?
The expert attributes Jackson's edge largely to a massive financial advantage—over $100 million in campaign spending and broad media saturation—which raised his name recognition and visibility compared to Jones, contributing to a perceived edge despite Jones' profile.
Primary runoff election; Delta Air Lines investigation; Special session
Q: What are lawmakers planning to do about QR codes and ballot counting deadlines in Senate Bill 189?
