Every four years the Mississippi State Republican Party convenes to elect a new executive committee and that committee elects new officers for the state party. The convention then elects the slate of delegates to the national convention and the six electors for the Electoral College.
Attending this year’s convention was Pat Nozinich, Chair of the Republican Party in Tate county, John Eubanks, President of the Tate County Republican Club, and Dale Dunigan, a member of the Tate County Executive Committee.
On Friday night, Laura Trump addressed the Convention in her capacity as Co-Chairman of the Republican National Committee.
One item of particular interest that occured on Saturday during the business session, was a resolution declaring that the state party took the position that January 6th was not an insurrection, and that the Democrats had weaponized the Federal Government on the strength that it was an insurrection.
The governor went so far as to say that the full resources of the Republican Party would be deployed in the fall election to defeat Bennie Johnson, who served as Chairman of the January 6 Committee in Congress.
The Mississippi Republican Party will be sending 40 delegates to the National Convention, which will be held in Milwaukee Wisconsin in July of this year.
By law, the political party that wins the state’s presidential election will send six delegates to the Electoral College. If Donald Trump wins outright on November 5, 2024, or fails to win the popular vote, there is little doubt that those delegates will be casting their votes for Donald J. Trump.
