A new revelation is sparking controversy in Oklahoma’s Republican gubernatorial race.
Wendy Drummond, wife of candidate Gentner Drummond, donated $1,000 to The Lincoln Project in 2020, a political action committee founded to oppose President Trump and his movement.
For many GOP primary voters, that donation is a clear red flag.

The Lincoln Project was created by a group of self-described “Never Trump” Republicans whose mission was to defeat the President and dismantle his movement.
The group raised tens of millions of dollars from donors in 2020 by promising to run aggressive advertising campaigns against Trump and his allies.
It quickly became known for slick, viral videos attacking the president, Republican senators, and anyone aligned with the MAGA base.
While the organization branded itself as “pro-democracy,” conservatives widely saw it as a grift—a PAC enriching its founders while siding with Democrats against the Republican Party.
Supporting the Lincoln Project is an active contribution to an effort designed to defeat Trump and undermine his supporters across the country.
For grassroots Republicans who remain firmly behind Trump and his America First agenda, the idea of having a governor whose family backed the very group that tried to take him down is deeply concerning.
Gentner Drummond’s own record has not reassured pro-Trump conservatives.
He declined to endorse President Trump in the 2024 GOP primary and dodged the question of whether Trump should have been impeached.
That reluctance to take a stand, paired with his wife’s donation, signals to many Republicans that Drummond may be trying to straddle both sides rather than commit to the movement that defines today’s GOP.
The stakes are high. Oklahoma is a conservative state where loyalty to Trump has remained a litmus test in Republican politics.
The America First policies that revitalized the economy, strengthened energy independence, and restored respect for law enforcement still resonate with the base.
A candidate who cannot embrace that legacy risks alienating the very voters needed to secure the nomination.
The Lincoln Project itself serves as a reminder of why grassroots conservatives are skeptical of establishment Republicans.
Just as conservatives in Oklahoma are demanding accountability from candidates tied to anti-Trump groups, YouthVote exists to hold leaders accountable for undermining America’s values.
The movement empowers parents and young voters to see through deception, resist the influence of groups like The Lincoln Project, and demand representation that truly reflects pro-American, pro-freedom principles.
You can support YouthVote’s mission to defend parents and protect children by subscribing and spreading the word.
As the primary unfolds, voters will decide whether they want a governor who is fully committed to advancing Trump’s vision–or one whose campaign carries the baggage of ties to an organization created to defeat him.
