Chris McDaniel

Christopher Brian McDaniel, known as Chris McDaniel (born June 28, 1972), is a second-term member of the Mississippi state senate, who ran for the Republican nomination for the United States Senate in 2014 against an entrenched incumbent, Thad Cochran. This was the highest profile challenge to an incumbent senator in the nation that year. He is again seeking the Cochran seat in a special election in 2018.

Early life

He was born on in Laurel, Mississippi,[1] to Carlos and Charlotte McDaniel. His father died in a car crash in 1999.[2]

Electoral history

This ad was paid for by republicans[3][4]

In 2014, McDaniel won on the primary election day but, because of a third candidate, did not attain 50 percent of the vote. In the subsequent run-off, many traditional Democrats reportedly participated in the Republican primary for the benefit of Cochran, and on that basis he narrowly defeated McDaniel.

At a press conference announcing his legal challenge to the primary results, McDaniel said that the GOP is "a party that does not need to play the race card to win."[5] Several ads, such as the one seen here, used phrases such as "The Tea Party intends to prevent you from voting". John Fund, a frequent contributor to The Wall Street Journal asked if this similar[6] ad was the flier that got Thad Cochran elected. The ad read "The Tea Party intends to prevent blacks from voting on Tuesday".[7]Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag

Some strategists question whether Hyde-Smith's former ties to the Democrats could hurt her chances in a race against McDaniel. The special election will be essentially non-partisan; each party will not be selecting nominees to contest the race. U.S. President Donald Trump is said to have no plans to endorse for campaign for Hyde-Smith. According to Politico, polling conducted by the National Republican Senatorial Committee shows Hyde-Smith trailing both McDaniel and a prospective Democratic candidate.[8] At the same time as the special election, RINO Senator Roger Wicker will be seeking reelection to a full term. McDaniel had announced he was challenging Wicker but then switched to campaign for the open seat.

Personal life

Together with his wife, the former Jill Tullos, the McDaniels have two sons.[9] Mrs. McDaniel was the 1995 "Miss Mississippi USA".[10]
