James Lankford revealed that a popular right-wing media figure threatened to "destroy" him if he moved a sweeping immigration bill before the presidential election, with MAGA radio host Jesse Kelly taking credit for the threat.

Lankford criticized his GOP colleagues for not solving problems, and conservative media figures have worked to undermine the bill, misrepresenting its provisions. Trump has also falsely claimed he never endorsed Lankford for his Senate election.
