After this week’s Mississippi Senate race, the 2018 midterms are now in the rearview mirror, and politically speaking, it’s time to turn attention to 2020 — not to the big presidential contest, but to the next set of Senate races.

And in others, the driving question is: How does an incumbent survive in a state that appears to be an odd fit? CONT.
