Little-known Michael Cassidy looks to have forced GOP primary runoff with incumbent Rep. Michael Guest.

Cassidy’s biggest pitch to voters via phones past two weeks: Guest approved “witch hunt” J6 Commission.

J6 Commission primetime hearings start in 2 days. Runoff in 21 days.
What I’ll be watching:

Does Cassidy have more cash? Where did/will it come from?

Doing some processing this morning about how Mississippi lawmakers removed the state flag, the last in the nation featuring the Confederate battle emblem. It’s been a wild few days.

Here’s a thread.
June 6: Several young black activists organized a BLM protest in downtown Jackson. At least 3,000 attended, which many think is largest demonstration in Mississippi since the Civil Rights Movement.

Changing the state flag was one of their focal points.

My friend’s dad is renovating a house in Hazlehurst, MS. Little ways in, he discovered there are 30,000-50,000 bees in the wall.

I’m at the house right now as a local beekeeper is trying to extract them and move them to his farm.
The idea, apparently, is that bees aren’t super active at night, and this is the right time to extract.

The beekeeper is sawing into the wood wall to reach the hive. He paused just now and said: “One thing for sure, they’re gonna be mad cause I done stirred ‘em up.”
There are six of us non-beekeepers watching this from a few feet away. No idea if this beekeeper is legit or not, but he’s not really worried about what happens when the wall breaks.

Our exit plans are very limited. Here’s the best option:

One year ago yesterday, a Hollywood star sat at my office and screamed at me for a story I wrote.

This thread shows how wild covering politics can be and how journalists can never please everyone.
In March 2018, a guy named Howard Sherman filed to run as a Democrat for U.S. Senate in Mississippi. He was challenging GOP Sen. Roger Wicker, the 10-year incumbent.

Sherman is the husband of Sela Ward, the famed actress from Meridian, MS.
Three Democrats ran for the Democratic nomination. State representatives David Baria and Omeria Scott were well known in the political bubble, so covering them was relatively easy.

But no one in state politics knew Sherman, so we started digging. Things quickly got weird.
