Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) is expected to announce he will resign from his seat in the coming days, according to reports.
Inhofes expected retirement was first reported by Jonathan Martin of the New York Times on Thursday afternoon.
Martin speculated a resignation is likely to spark a competitive race to replace Inhofe, who is 87-years-old, and has held his seat in deep-red Oklahoma since 1994. Inhofe was reelected in 2020, his current term ends in 2027.
