Mississippi state Sen. Chris McDaniel (R) plans to appeal a judge’s ruling throwing out his lawsuit challenging the runoff results of the Republican primary for U.S. Senate.

The Jones County Clerk’s office confirmed to TPM that McDaniel planned to file his appeal on Friday.

Judge Hollis McGhee sided with Sen. Thad Cochran’s (R-MS) lawyers, who argued that the McDaniel campaign had filed their challenge after the 20-day limit.

The challenge comes a week after McGehee threw out McDaniel’s lawsuit.

  1. Of course he will. These kooks all think they are Churchill. “Never give up. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never.”

    Plus, McDaniel’s laying the groundwork for the next election.

  2. He’ll do anything to have a headline with “McDaniel” and “appealing” in the same sentence.

  3. The psycho is acting like an obsessed person who is incapable of giving it up. Like some kind of stalker, its weird,and creepy. A normal person would have moved on by now.

  4. McDaniel’s aiming for the next election by showing he’s indomitable and that those ni(CLANG!) may have won THIS time but not NEXT time.

  5. He’s the EG/Beej of Mississippi
