A Mississippi lawmaker is apologizing for comments he made in the wake of President-Elect Joe Biden�s victory in last week�s election.

Responding to a tweet about the election posted by former Republican gubernatorial candidate Robert Foster, Rep. Price Wallace (R) expressed that Mississippi should �succeed from the union and form our own country.�

The District 77 representative has since-deleted the misspelled tweet and Wednesday afternoon, four days after the original tweet, he posted his apology.

Wallace, a farmer, has represented Rankin & Simpson counties since 2018.
