Trump-endorsed candidate clears key hurdle in red state gubernatorial race

Mike Mazzei won an Oklahoma primary runoff for governor with support from Donald Trump and outgoing Gov. Kevin Stitt, making him a favorite for the nomination. The victory arose amid public feuds between Mazzei's opponent, Genter Drummond, and Stitt concerning issues like phosphorus pollution. Mazzei campaigned on plans to cut taxes, specifically noting his goal to eliminate Oklahoma’s income tax and property taxes for seniors and veterans.
