Taylor managed to edge out Cox for the run-off. This face off will be quite interesting. Typically a run-off has lower turnout, so the bases for these candidates is going to make big impacts.
Due to this, I think Taylor has the advantage. His base has demonstrated that they will be there with him every step of the way. Franklin’s base isn’t quite the same, but it’s a lot of the liberal’s pick, especially since Democrat candidate McVay got smoked in his primary.
It may also come down to who Pugh and Hasenbeck endorse moving forward. I could see Hasenbeck and those voters going for Taylor, while Pugh and his voters go to Franklin.
Another big race in Oklahoma. Democrats love to early vote, which makes sense when Franklin was supported by liberals.
