Trump Endorsed Lahmeyer in 10-Way Oklahoma Election Results Race

Oklahoma election results showed a 10-way Republican primary in the state's First Congressional District expected to go to a runoff, with Jackson Lahmeyer running as the Trump-endorsed candidate. The race put Lahmeyer, Brad Tedford and Kim David on the same ballot in a contest that reflected a split inside the Oklahoma Republican Party.

Trump endorsed Lahmeyer, a hard-line conservative pastor who ran to the right of his opponents. Tedford entered with the backing of Oklahoma's Republican State House speaker, while David served on the state commission that regulates the oil and gas industry.

First Congressional District Race

The district contest was one of the clearest examples of how the party divide showed up on the ballot. The 10-way field was expected to go to a runoff, leaving the Republican nomination unsettled on election night.

That split ran between the far-right and more traditional wings of the Oklahoma G.O.P. Lahmeyer represented the harder-line side, while Tedford and David came from a more institutional lane within the party.

Trump Vote In Oklahoma

The district race also served as another test of Trump's influence in a state where all 77 counties went for him in the 2024 presidential election. That record gave his endorsement weight as voters chose among the three named contenders in a crowded field.

Polls were closing in Oklahoma as results from Georgia were still rolling in, with about 30 percent of the statewide vote reported there. The runoff expectation left the Oklahoma district race without a final outcome on election night, and the next step was the Republican nomination fight that the primary had already forced into a second round.
