Mississippi was won by the Democratic nominees, former U.S. Representative William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska and his running mate Adlai Stevenson I of Illinois. They defeated the Republican nominees, incumbent President William McKinley of Ohio and his running mate Theodore Roosevelt of New York. Bryan won the state by a margin of 77.9%.
With 87.56% of the popular vote, Mississippi would prove to be Bryan's second strongest state in the 1900 presidential election only after South Carolina.[1]
Bryan had previously won Mississippi against McKinley four years earlier and would later win the state again in 1908 against William Howard Taft.
