Mississippi was won by incumbent United States President Ronald Reagan of California , who was running against former Vice President Walter Mondale of Minnesota . Reagan ran for a second time with former C.I.A. Director George H. W. Bush of Texas , and Mondale ran with Representative Geraldine Ferraro of New York , the first major female candidate for the vice presidency.

Reagan's best county was Lamar , where he got 79.9% of the vote; Mondale's was Jefferson , where he got 77.9%. Despite Reagan's overall landslide win in the state, Jefferson County, which possessed the largest African-American share of United States county's population, gave Mondale his fourth-largest vote share of any county or county-equivalent, after the District of Columbia , Macon County, Alabama , and majority-Native American Shannon County, South Dakota .[1]
