Trump's aluminum smelter plan divides Oklahoma GOP governor race

President Donald Trump's push to build the Western Hemisphere's largest aluminum smelter in rural Oklahoma has split Republican voters and become a key issue in the state's governor race. The August 25 runoff between Attorney General Gentner Drummond and former state Senator Mike Mazzei pits Trump's endorsement and job creation against environmental concerns. The $4 billion project, slated for Inola, would produce 750,000 metric tons annually and is central to Trump's minerals plan.
