Incumbent Rep. Bennie Thompson's commanding 86% victory in the March 10 Democratic primary has reinforced trader consensus favoring Democrats at 80% to retain Mississippi's 2nd Congressional District in the November 3 general election against Republican nominee Ron Eller and independent Bennie Foster. The district's D+11 Cook Partisan Voting Index, Thompson's overwhelming historical margins like 62% in the prior cycle, and his $1.4 million cash-on-hand edge over Eller's $38,000 reflect the entrenched Democratic lean in this majority-Black, economically challenged seat. A Supreme Court ruling last week rejecting Louisiana's congressional map as racial gerrymandering prompted Mississippi GOP leaders to call for redrawing MS-02—the state's sole majority-Black district—slightly elevating Republican odds to 17.5% amid procedural uncertainty, though pre-election changes remain improbable.
