Not only did he publicly back Sen. James Lankford for reelection in 2022, but he also praised the Oklahoma Republican's stance on border security.
In 2022, former President Donald Trump called Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.), one of the three main negotiators of a sweeping immigration overhaul and foreign aid bill now in the Senate, ”Strong on the Border.”
On Monday, Trump said incorrectly that he had not endorsed him and that the border bill would be bad for Lankford’s political career.
“Just to correct the record, I did not endorse Sen. Lankford. I didn’t do it,” Trump said in a telephone interview with right-wing commentator Dan Bongino.
“He ran, and I did not endorse him,” Trump said.
Except Trump actually did endorse Lankford, who won in a walkover of a reelection contest.
