In the compressed arc of a single news cycle, an Oklahoma pastor's congressional ambitions collapsed under the weight of a texting scandal and a swift presidential withdrawal. Jackson Lahmeyer, who had built his political identity around his proximity to Donald Trump, discovered that such proximity is conditional — extended in triumph and retracted in trouble. The episode, unfolding in Oklahoma's 1st District, is a quiet reminder that political loyalty at the highest levels is less a covenant than a calculation.
