What Had Trump Said About The Race?
In a post endorsing Mazzei on Monday, Trump attacked Drummond, calling him a “FAKE Republican, who donated to SLEEPY Joe Biden.” The comment was a reference to a $1,000 contribution made in 2020 to Biden, which Drummond previously claimed was made by his wife but was later refunded. Trump also attacked Drummond’s opposition to a $4 billion aluminum smelting plant in Tulsa, which is supported by Mazzei. As attorney general, Drummond has filed an injunction against the plant to allow the state to study its environmental impact. Trump blasted Drummond for wanting to “dethrone” the “magnificent, job producing, desperately needed, and brand new, Aluminum Plant.”

Mazzei previously was an Oklahoma State senator from 2004 to 2016 and later served as the state’s Secretary of Budget.
