WHITE HOUSE — Donald J.Trump endorsed Mike Mazzei for governor of Oklahoma and launched a broadside against runoff opponent Gentner Drummond in a Truth Social post on June 27, 2026, at 2:35 PM EST.
Here is the full post (see truthsocial): “MAGA Warrior Mike Mazzei is running for Governor in Oklahoma, where I was the ONLY President to win ALL 77 Counties in three straight Elections. Additionally, I won more votes than any Candidate in the State’s History! I LOVE Oklahoma, and Mike has my COMPLETE and TOTAL Endorsement for Governor! Meanwhile, his Runoff Election Opponent, Gentner Drummond, is a FAKE Republican. The Drummonds donated to SLEEPY Joe Biden, and the totally corrupt Lincoln Project, at levels that are shameful — Frankly, that makes him a Radical Left Dumocrat. Additionally, he wants to dethrone a magnificent, Job producing, desperately needed Aluminum Plant that will be one of the best projects ever conceived or built in the Great State of Oklahoma. The group that’s doing it is extraordinarily wealthy and, if they don’t do it in Oklahoma, they have 20 other sites that would love to have them. We need Aluminum for many reasons, we barely make it in the United States but, in particular, it’s all about National Security, and Oklahoma can lead the way. Very simply, Mike Mazzei is for this desperately needed Job Producer. Drummond, for his own reasons, is not — He even SUED, unsuccessfully, to block it. It’s going to be the Biggest Aluminum Plant in the Country, and it’s all financed and done. Gentner Drummond has also stated publicly he had “no opinion” on the BOGUS IMPEACHMENT of a gentleman named, Donald J.Trump (ME!). All Republicans feel the opposite on the Dumocrat inspired Impeachment Hoax. He even SUED to BLOCK a religious based charter school strongly supported by my Administration — Very troubling for Educational Freedom, and an outright attack on Christianity! Drummond is not the right guy, he’s got a bad attitude, and he doesn’t stand for the Values of Oklahoma, which must VOTE “MIKE MAZZEI FOR GOVERNOR” on August 25th — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN! Thank you for your attention to this matter. Donald J.Trump”
Trump framed his endorsement around three central grievances against Drummond. He accused the Drummond family of donating to Joe Biden and the Lincoln Project, called Drummond a “fake Republican,” and said those contributions made him a “radical left” figure unfit for the Oklahoma governorship.
The post also focused on a large aluminum plant that Trump described as the biggest in the country, fully financed and ready for construction. Trump said Mazzei supports the project while Drummond tried to block it through litigation. Trump cast the plant as a national security priority, arguing the United States produces too little aluminum domestically.
Trump further criticized Drummond for stating publicly that he had “no opinion” on Trump’s impeachment, a position Trump called unacceptable for any Republican. He also attacked Drummond for suing to block a religious charter school that Trump said his administration supported, calling it “an outright attack on Christianity.”
The runoff election is scheduled for August 25. Trump urged Oklahoma voters to back Mazzei, declaring he would “never let you down.”
In the last 30 days, 138 of 623 Trump posts focused on the topic of elections, underscoring the volume of endorsement and campaign-related messaging from the former president during this period.
