| Another Republican incumbent heads home. |
A Republican sheriff for Jackson County, Mississippi beats Rep. Karen Palazzo (R-MS).
Palazzo was at risk of losing his seat after an Office of Congressional Ethics reported in 2021 found that he misspent campaign funds and tapped staff to run errands for him. He was part of the Tea Party Movement which rose to infamy in 2010 and led to Washed Up 45 becoming the president.
The six-term lawmaker and supporter of Washed Up 45 lost to a candidate who is a white nationalist with a badge. The lawmaker lost his runoff election to Karen Ezell, who finished second in the primary.
The incumbent only pulled in 31% of the vote which was a warning sign that he was facing an uphill battle.

| A Mississippi sheriff running on culture wars won. |
Palazzo was at risk of losing his seat after an Office of Congressional Ethics reported in 2021 found that he misspent campaign funds and tapped staff to run errands for him. He was part of the Tea Party Movement which rose to infamy in 2010 and led to Washed Up 45 becoming the president.
He defeated conservative Democrat Karen Taylor who later became a Republican.
Taylor wanted his seat back and challenged Palazzo. But in the end, Taylor proved to be more Republican than Taylor.
Palazzo is a military veteran and he's been representing the 4th Congressional District since 2010.
