Tate Reeves and Democratic challenger Brandon Presley were set to face off Wednesday night in their only debate to cap a hard-fought campaign, six days before the Nov. 7 general election.
Presley has raised $11.3 million for his campaign this year, compared with Reeves' $6.3 million, according to finance reports filed Tuesday.
Presley has spent $10.8 million and still has $1.3 million, while Reeves has spent $11 million and still has $1.2 million.
Presley called on Reeves to take part in five debates, including one last month at a forum sponsored by the NAACP in Gulfport.
During the 2019 campaign for governor, Reeves had two debates with Democratic nominee Jim Hood.
