President Donald Trump continued to throw his support behind Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith of Mississippi on Monday, as her campaign continues to try to recover from recent controversial statements she's made.

".@cindyhydesmith loves Mississippi and our Great U.S.A," the president commented on a retweet promoting a rally he is hosting for Hyde-Smith on Nov. 26.

Hyde-Smith, who was appointed by Gov. Phil Bryant in March to fill retired GOP Sen. Thad Cochran’s seat, is facing a runoff against Democrat Mike Epsy to finish out the remaining two years of Cochran's term.

The president will be hosting two rallies on Nov. 26, one in Tupelo and another in Biloxi. Trump has bragged about how his appearances for candidates helped push them over the line in the midterm elections earlier this month.
