Oklahoma pastor drops out of House race after Trump unendorsed his campaign

Jackson Lahmeyer, the founder of Pastors for Trump, has withdrawn from the House race in Oklahoma’s 1st Congressional District. After advancing to a runoff election, Lahmeyer dropped out following a texting scandal. This decision occurred shortly after President Donald Trump withdrew his endorsement of the Republican pastor's campaign to instead back his opponent. The shift in support from the president preceded Lahmeyer's official exit from the congressional contest in the state of Oklahoma.
