Trump-backed Mike Mazzei wins the GOP nomination in the Oklahoma governor’s race
Mazzei won by 2,047 votes after Trump attacked Drummond and backed the runoff winner, while more than $14 million was spent on advertising.
- President Donald Trump plans to deploy roughly $400 million from his MAGA Inc. super PAC on nationwide TV ads to nationalize the midterm elections around his second-term accomplishments, according to The Atlantic.
- During an Oval Office meeting earlier this month, Trump instructed aides to mine his on-camera statements as ad material, telling them "go look at the clips, I cite accomplishments all the time" to counter low approval ratings.
- Trump's approval rating hit roughly 33% last week, prompting GOP strategists to warn the strategy is risky since the incumbent president's party historically loses House seats during midterms.
- White House spokesperson Olivia Wales defended the approach, saying "President Trump is cleaning up Joe Biden's mess" and that his leadership has strengthened the United States.
- The campaign aims to turn individual House and Senate races into a broader referendum on Trump's performance—a high-stakes gamble that could energize his base or alienate competitive-district voters.
