A pair of nooses were found hanging from trees at the state Capitol in Jackson, Mississippi, on Monday — a day before the racially charged runoff election between Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith and Democrat Mike Espy.

Chuck McIntosh, a rep for the Mississippi Department of Finance and Administration, said someone called WLBT-Channel 3 between 7:30 and 8 a.m. Monday and told them they should head to the Capitol.

When they arrived, they found two nooses and six signs that the station described as “hate signs,” though their contents were not revealed.

The reporter called the cops and the nooses and signs were taken away, and police are reviewing surveillance footage.

The incident occurred the day before the state’s Senate runoff.

The race has been in the national spotlight since video revealed Hyde-Smith telling a supporter that if she were invited to a “public hanging,” she would “be on the front row.”

President Trump is traveling to Tupelo on Monday afternoon and Biloxi later in the day for rallies on Hyde-Smith’s behalf.

Espy, who served in the Clinton administration, is African-American.

The Magnolia State has not elected a Democrat to the Senate since 1982.
