Congressman Markwayne Mullin is getting promoted to Senator after defeating former congresswoman Kendra Horn by more than 25 points to replace retiring Senator Jim Inhofe.

Mullin will have to run again in 2026 to secure a full term.

He said on Six In The Morning Wednesday that he plans to continue Inhofe's legacy and commitment to the military, as well as work on energy.
