Two Democratic insiders familiar with his plans said that Sen. Cory Booker would support Mississippi Democratic Senate candidate Mike Espy on Monday.
Espy, who is running against Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, is Booker’s second visitor to Mississippi. In July, the prospective 2020 contender visited Jackson, Mississippi, to support Espy.
On Saturday, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), another potential 2020 candidate, will support Espy.

The two African-American senators’ visits come as national Republicans are organizing to prevent the campaign from spiraling out of their grasp. In a recently released video, Hyde-Smith can be heard joking that if a fan invited her, she would sit in “the front row” of a public hanging.
Additionally, Hyde-Smith recently said in Starkville that Mississippi might want to make it harder for “liberal folks” to cast ballots.
The campaign for Hyde-Smith stated on Friday that the remark was “all a joke.”
