Trump endorses Hern for Oklahoma Senate seat

President Donald Trump has endorsed Rep. Kevin Hern in the race to fill Oklahoma’s Senate seat, according to a post on Truth Social Friday. Hern launched a bid for the seat earlier this week.

Trump’s endorsement signals support as Hern competes to succeed Sen. Markwayne Mullin, who is expected to become the next secretary of Homeland Security, sources said.

The endorsement comes amid a crowded Republican primary, with Hern positioning himself as a key candidate to continue the state’s conservative policies. Hern has yet to comment publicly on the endorsement.

The race to succeed Mullin is shaping up to be a significant contest in Oklahoma’s Republican primary, which is seen as pivotal in the state’s political landscape.
