This race also doesn't seem to have revealed all too much about politics changing in Mississippi. You could argue that Beto O'Rourke's and Stacey Abrams's over-performances previewed the beginning of Texas and Georgia turning purple -- and, by generating voter enthusiasm and turnout that resulted in traditionally Republican suburban House districts flipping. But the statewide implications of Espy's over-performance are less clear. We've learned that Mississippi is still very Republican, but I think we already knew that.
