The Mississippi Republican Party announced that the Presidential Electors representing Mississippi met Tuesday at the Mississippi Capitol to officially cast all six of the state’s electoral votes for Donald J. Trump for President, and J.D. Vance for Vice President of the United States, in accordance with the U.S. Constitution, federal law, state law, and the will of the voters in Mississippi during the 2024 presidential election.

Gov. Tate Reeves and Secretary of State Michael Watson were on hand at the event.

“Mississippi is proud to cast its six electoral votes for Donald J. Trump and JD Vance,” said Governor Tate Reeves. “After four disastrous years of the Biden-Harris Administration, Mississippians are fired up to get America back on the right track. January 20th cannot come soon enough. Mississippi looks forward to implementing President Trump’s America First Agenda.”

The Electoral College is a constitutionally mandated process consisting of the selection of electors, the meeting of electors whereby they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress.  The Electoral College consists of 538 electors, a majority (270) of which is required to elect the President and Vice President. Each state has the same number of electors as it has Members in its Congressional delegation: one for each Member in the House of Representatives plus two U.S. Senators.

The Presidential Electors for the State of Mississippi were recommended by Governor Reeves and subsequently elected by the Mississippi Republican Party at its state convention.  The Presidential Electors for Mississippi are former Governor Phil Bryant; Mississippi Public Service Commissioner Chris Brown; Mississippi State Senator Tyler McCaughan; Mississippi State Senator Ben Suber; Charlie Stephenson; and Terry Reeves.

“This is truly an historic day for our country and a great day for our state. I sincerely thank our Presidential Electors for their service and our fellow Mississippians for electing Donald J. Trump as President and J.D. Vance as our next Vice President of the United States. Our state and our nation is on the rise, and I could not be more excited for our people,” said Mike Hurst, Chairman of the Mississippi Republican Party.

The Mississippi Republican Party extends its appreciation for the service and dedication of the Presidential Electors to this important constitutional process.
