In the Oklahoma gubernatorial primary runoff on August 25, 2026, former state senator Mike Mazzei secured the Republican nomination by defeating Attorney General Gentner Drummond. This victory, bolstered by President Donald Trump's endorsement, marks a significant moment in the state's political landscape. Mazzei, who narrowly won the GOP nomination, is now positioned as a strong contender in the November general election against incumbent Governor Kevin Stitt.
