When President Donald J. Trump speaks, Oklahoma listens — and right now, he’s speaking loud and clear: Mike Mazzei is the only real choice for Governor of the Sooner State, and incumbent Gentner Drummond is a wolf in elephant’s clothing. In a thunderous Truth Social post dropped Thursday evening, the 47th President laid out a damning, point-by-point case against Drummond while throwing his complete and total endorsement behind Mazzei ahead of the August 25th Republican runoff election. If you care about jobs, national security, educational freedom, and America-first values, the choice couldn’t be more obvious.
Oklahoma Is Trump Country — And Drummond Doesn’t Belong There
Let’s start with the numbers, because they don’t lie. President Trump didn’t just win Oklahoma in 2016, 2020, and 2024 — he swept all 77 counties in three consecutive presidential elections, a feat no other president has achieved in the state’s history. He earned more total votes than any candidate in Oklahoma history. That’s not a base; that’s a mandate. Oklahoma is about as America-first as it gets, which is exactly why Gentner Drummond’s record is so jarring — and so disqualifying.
According to Trump’s post and corroborated by publicly available campaign finance records, the Drummond family donated to Joe Biden’s campaign and to the Lincoln Project — the never-Trump political action committee infamous for its attacks on President Trump and MAGA Republicans. The Lincoln Project, founded by a group of disgruntled establishment Republicans, has spent years aligning itself with the radical left and doing the Democrats’ dirty work. Cutting checks to that outfit isn’t a minor slip — it’s a declaration of where your loyalties really lie. For a man asking Oklahoma Republicans to hand him the governor’s mansion, that’s not just embarrassing. It’s disqualifying.
Trump didn’t mince words: Drummond’s donor history, he said, makes him functionally “a Radical Left Democrat.” That may sting, but the receipts are real.
Drummond Blocked Jobs, Attacked Christianity, and Stayed Silent on the Impeachment Hoax
The Drummond record gets worse the deeper you dig. At the center of the Oklahoma governor’s race is a proposed aluminum manufacturing facility that would be, according to Trump, the largest aluminum plant in the entire country — fully financed, shovel-ready, and capable of delivering thousands of good-paying jobs to Oklahoma workers. This isn’t some pie-in-the-sky promise. The project is real, the money is lined up, and the developers have made clear they have no shortage of other states ready to welcome them with open arms.
Why does it matter beyond jobs? Because aluminum is a matter of national security. The United States has allowed its domestic aluminum production capacity to erode for decades, leaving us dangerously dependent on foreign sources — including adversarial nations — for a metal critical to defense manufacturing, aerospace, and infrastructure. Rebuilding that capacity on American soil isn’t just good economics. It’s strategic necessity. Mike Mazzei understands that. Gentner Drummond, inexplicably, does not — and he went so far as to sue to block the project, a lawsuit he ultimately lost. Oklahoma workers should ask themselves: who does Drummond actually work for?
Then there’s the matter of faith and educational freedom. Drummond sued to block a religious-based charter school that had the backing of the Trump administration — an institution designed to give Oklahoma families more choices and more freedom in how their children are educated. Courts have increasingly recognized the constitutional legitimacy of faith-based charter schools, and the Trump administration has championed school choice as a cornerstone of its education agenda. Drummond’s lawsuit wasn’t just legally dubious — it was an outright attack on Christianity and parental rights in a state where both are deeply held values.
And then — perhaps most insulting to every Oklahoma Republican — Drummond publicly stated he had “no opinion” on the Democrats’ impeachment witch hunts against President Trump. No opinion. On the weaponization of the federal government against a sitting and former president. On the most transparently partisan abuse of congressional power in modern American history. Every real Republican in this country knows exactly what those impeachment proceedings were: a hoax, a power grab, and an assault on the will of the American voter. Drummond couldn’t even muster the backbone to say so.
Mike Mazzei Is the Real Deal
By contrast, Mike Mazzei is the unapologetic MAGA candidate Oklahoma needs. He supports the aluminum plant and the thousands of jobs it will bring. He stands with President Trump’s agenda on education, energy, and America-first economics. He has the endorsement of the man who carried every single county in Oklahoma three times running — and that endorsement was not given lightly.
Trump has been surgical with his endorsements in 2026, picking candidates who will fight, not fold. Mazzei fits that mold. Oklahoma deserves a governor who will stand up for its workers, its families, its faith communities, and its strategic role in America’s industrial and national security future — not a country-club Republican who bankrolled Joe Biden and the Lincoln Project while suing to kill jobs and silence Christians.
Bottom Line: The August 25th runoff is a clear choice between a genuine America-first conservative and a fake Republican with a donor list that should make every Oklahoman cringe. President Trump has spoken. The endorsement is complete and total. Oklahoma voters who want jobs, strong values, and real leadership need to get to the polls and vote Mike Mazzei for Governor. Don’t let the Sooner State be handed over to someone whose loyalties have already been revealed. The deadline is August 25th — make it count.
