Jackson Lahmeyer, an Oklahoma megachurch minister and founder of the group Pastors for Trump, withdraws from a Republican runoff for a U.S. House seat in Oklahoma. Multiple reports say the decision follows allegations that Lahmeyer sent romantic or intimate text messages to a woman who is not his wife. One outlet describes him as previously backed by President Donald Trump and positioned as a party-aligned, faith-focused candidate. Another report states that Lahmeyer exits the race in connection with the published claims about the messages. The reporting does not indicate that prosecutors or courts have issued formal findings in the matter. The withdrawals shifts the contest’s field and leaves voters to choose among the remaining candidate or candidates in the runoff, depending on how local election officials handle the change. The overall account across sources is that the candidate’s departure is directly tied to the resurfaced allegations involving his conduct and private communications.
