Ronnie Shows, a former Democratic congressman from Mississippi, announced today that he has dropped his nascent Senate bid against Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) and endorsed the candidacy of former Democratic Gov. Ronnie Musgrove.

"After weeks of talking to my family and friends, I have come to the conclusion that we would not be able to raise the millions of dollars needed to compete with a former governor and the handpicked candidate from the sitting governor," Shows said in a statement.

"I look forward in the coming months to helping Gov. Musgrove win this election so Mississippi will have a senator who will work to end the partisan bickering that prevents Washington from getting anything done."
