Presley said state government “is bought and sold to the highest bidder,” with Reeves demanding campaign contributions before meeting with people.
Presley said Reeves likes to talk about California and New York instead of small towns in Mississippi.
Trump released a 30-second video on Tuesday, endorsing Reeves, and Reeves told Presley: “Donald Trump only supports the only conservative in this race."
Reeves served two terms as state treasurer and two as lieutenant governor before winning the governor's race in 2019.
If neither Reeves nor Presley receives a majority in next Tuesday's election, the race would go to a Nov. 28 runoff.
