In Oklahoma, the race to succeed Gov. Kevin Stitt, who is unable to run for another term, intensifies with a GOP runoff scheduled for Tuesday. Former state senator and state budget secretary Mike Mazzei faces off against state Attorney General Gentner Drummond.
President Trump has been vocal against Drummond, labeling him as a ‘fake Republican.’ Trump expressed dissatisfaction with Drummond for not having a stance on the impeachment proceedings he describes as ‘bogus.’ Trump’s public endorsement aligns with Mazzei, aiming to secure a solid ally in Oklahoma’s leadership.
The initial GOP primary held on June 16 saw Drummond leading Mazzei by approximately 1,100 votes. As the runoff nears, both candidates ramp up their efforts to clinch their party’s nomination. Given Oklahoma’s conservative leanings, the GOP nominee is mostly likely to emerge victorious in the November election.
Polls for this critical runoff close at 8 p.m. EDT. The outcome will shape the political landscape as candidates anticipate the general election.
