Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) said the Oklahoma Republican Party chair’s support of his primary opponent is atypical and that most state party leaders remain neutral in regards to primary races.

“It’s more unheard of than it is rare. I’d say it’s highly unusual for a state party chair in any state in America to come out and say, ‘I’m not going to at least be neutral,'” Lankford told the Tulsa World this week.
