Other candidates included of Mike Epsy of the Democratic Party and Chris McDaniel of the Republican Party. The election would become a Democratic pickup; after the dropping out of all challengers to Epsy and racist remarks made by Hyde-Smith (which would help increase black turnout for Epsy and result in Lieutenant Governor Tate Reeves joining the race).
