We are not winning all of them. Mississippi? Come on. And we are losing Alabama, so take that into account.

Espy-D lost to Hyde Smith-R in the 2018 special election runnoff which took place in Nov. 27th, 2018 by a 7 percent margin.
Jones-D only won because the Republicans nominated Moore-R.

With Trump on the ticket in 2020, more Republicans will vote in Mississippi in 2020, so I'd bet it's 10 points this time.

Yes that's true, the only reason. Hopefully Moore gets the nomination again.
