Trump nabs crucial primary wins in South Carolina, Oklahoma: 4 takeaways
Trump-backed candidates win runoffs in South Carolina and Oklahoma, a crucial boost after his endorsed candidates lost 10 contests, reinforcing his influence within the GOP.

- In Oklahoma, Mike Mazzei defeated Gentner Drummond after a contest featuring more than $9 million in total spending, with The Trump-supporting MAGA Inc. deploying over $827,000 on voter contact.
- President Donald Trump attacked Gentner Drummond as a "fake Republican" for opposing a proposed $4 billion aluminum smelter project, while Mike Mazzei publicly embraced the development to secure the president's endorsement.
