President Donald Trump headed to Southaven, Mississippi Tuesday while the world was learning of the sketchy business practices that surrounded his father Fred Trump. The president has spent years proclaiming he was a self-made millionaire, but financial records show Fred Trump gave his son not $1 million but $60.7 million.
The president is in the state because Mississippi will vote on two U.S. Senate seats in November after Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) retired in April.
While the Democrat is polling about 14 points below the Republican, the other race has former Rep. Mike Espy (D-MS) leading the field.
Mississippi joins states like Texas and Georgia where Democrats are competitive for state-wide offices.
Watch the rally below, estimated to begin at 6:40 p.m. CDT:
