Trump rallies for embattled US senator in Mississippi today

President Donald Trump stumped in Mississippi on Monday for Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, a Republican Senate appointee, who wants voters to focus on her unwavering support for him, and not the racial questions that have made Tuesday’s runoff election a much closer contest than anyone expected.

“She votes for us and she votes for ‘Make America Great Again,’” Trump said at a rally in Tupelo, where he was accompanied by Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith. Trump called Hyde-Smith “a truly incredible leader and tireless champion” for Mississippi.

Hyde-Smith has drawn fire for a photo showing her wearing a replica hat of a Confederate soldier,
and a video showing her praising a supporter by saying,
“If he invited me to a public hanging, I’d be on the front row.”

Hyde-Smith has apologized to “anyone that was offended” by the hanging comment, saying she meant no ill will.
