Episode Details

Oklahoma’s primaries are heating up with high-stakes Senate and governor’s races, offering a major test of Trump’s lingering GOP power as midterms loom. After Markwayne Mullin left for Trump’s cabinet, the Senate seat opened — and Trump quickly endorsed Kevin Hern, effectively clearing the field in a state that hasn’t elected a Democrat since 1990. Meanwhile, the governor’s race is a chaotic brawl between big-name Republicans including Mike Mazzei, Gentner Drummond, and Charles McCall, with a runoff likely if no one hits 50% — all while former Gov. Kevin Stitt’s term limit and a rocky relationship with Trump set the stage. This isn’t just local politics — it’s a national barometer for Trump’s influence and the GOP’s future.
