• Oklahoma Governor First U.S. Governor to Test Positive for COVID-19 Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt became the first U.S. governor to test positive for coronavirus.

• Trump Campaign Restructures as Biden Gains Polling Lead President Trump reshuffled his campaign leadership, demoting campaign manager Brad Parscale and replacing him with Bill Stepien. This change came amid declining poll numbers, particularly following an under-attended Oklahoma rally. A Quinnipiac University poll showed Joe Biden expanding his lead, with Biden at 52% compared to Trump's 37%, a significant shift from the previous month's 49-41 split. Biden's gains were attributed to growing concerns about coronavirus impacts on public health and economic recovery.
