Summary
President Donald Trump withdrew his endorsement of Oklahoma GOP congressional candidate Jackson Lahmeyer and backed rival Mark Tedford. Lahmeyer announced he was suspending his campaign shortly after, citing a decision made the night before. Trump had previously endorsed Lahmeyer as a “MAGA Warrior” but switched his support to Tedford, describing him as “Pro Trump and MAGA all the way”. The endorsement reversal came after a turbulent stretch for Lahmeyer’s campaign, including reports of his communications with a former Miss Oklahoma USA. Tedford is now positioned as the likely Republican nominee in the strongly GOP district.
