President Trump posted on Truth Social on October 28, 2026, endorsing Kevin Hern for U.S. Senate and eight other Oklahoma Republicans. The post tells voters to get out and vote, and says in-person early voting in Oklahoma runs through October 31. This is a campaign endorsement, not a new law or policy, so the practical stake for working families is the calendar and the ballot in their hands.
What did Trump post about Oklahoma?
The post opens with the line “TO THE GREAT PEOPLE OF OKLAHOMA, GET OUT AND VOTE FOR:” and then lists his endorsements. He wrote that “These Great Patriots have my Complete and Total Endorsement.” The post is on his own account, time-stamped October 28, 2026: Trump’s Truth Social post on Oklahoma endorsements.
A second post, from the same day, repeats the early-voting message. It says: “Early Voting, in-person, is UNDERWAY NOW in the Great State of Oklahoma.” It also says Republicans “must SWAMP the Radical Left Dumocrats with massive turnout!” The second post is here: the second Truth Social post on early voting.
Who did the post endorse?
The President’s post names nine Republicans across statewide and congressional races:
| Office | Candidate named in the post |
|---|---|
| U.S. Senate | Kevin Hern |
| Governor | Mike Mazzei |
| Lieutenant Governor | T.W. Shannon |
| State Treasurer | Cindy Byrd |
| U.S. Congress (OK-01) | Mark Tedford |
| U.S. Congress (OK-02) | Josh Brecheen |
| U.S. Congress (OK-03) | Frank Lucas |
| U.S. Congress (OK-04) | Tom Cole |
| U.S. Congress (OK-05) | Stephanie Bice |
Hern is a known name in Washington. A House Ways and Means hearing record from December 13, 2023, published by the U.S. Government Publishing Office, lists him among the committee’s members.
How long can Oklahomans vote early in person?
The post says: “In Oklahoma, you can cast your early Vote, in-person, all the way through October 31st.” That date comes from the President’s statement. Check the in-person early-voting hours and your polling place with your county election office before you go.
The post also covers mail ballots. It says: “If you have a mail-in ballot, return it immediately and, if not, GO VOTE at the Polls RIGHT NOW.” The President’s post is a campaign message, so confirm your county’s return deadline for a mailed ballot.
What is verified, and what is still pending?
Verified: the post is on the President’s Truth Social account and is time-stamped October 28, 2026. The nine names and the October 31 date appear in the post itself. The 2023 hearing record shows Hern on the House Ways and Means Committee roster.
Still pending: the votes. The post does not change a law, a budget or an agency rule. Results depend on ballots cast, and that has not happened yet.
Before you vote
- Confirm the in-person early-voting dates and your polling place with your county election office.
- If you have a mail-in ballot, return it right away, as the post urges, and check your county’s return deadline.
- Compare the nine names against your sample ballot, since the post covers Senate, governor, statewide and congressional races.
