Mississippi voters on Tuesday are deciding between longtime U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson and his 34-year-old Democratic primary challenger. Thompson, a civil rights leader who chaired the House Jan. 6 Committee and serves as a ranking member on the House Homeland Security Committee, has held his seat for more than three decades. He is running against Evan Turnage, an antitrust lawyer who previously worked for top Democrats in Washington. Turnage is part of a wave of young Democrats who are hoping to oust older incumbents. He faces an uphill battle against an incumbent with deep pockets.
