Attorney General and Businessman Make Oklahoma Governor’s Runoff

In the Oklahoma gubernatorial race, Attorney General Gentner Drummond and businessman Mike Mazzei, who received President Trump’s endorsement, advanced to a runoff after leading a crowded Republican primary field. This outcome sets the stage for a high-stakes contest that will likely see significant campaign spending and intense scrutiny, given the influence of Trump's backing on Mazzei’s campaign. The race is crucial for determining the future direction of state politics in Oklahoma, as both candidates bring distinct visions for the state’s governance and priorities.
