Waltey has always supported Trump’s claims about fraud in the 2020 presidential election and has repeatedly refuted these claims. has repeated.

McDaniel said in a statement: Every time we have had a candidate, the Republican National Committee has traditionally undergone changes, and I have always wanted to continue this tradition. I am committed to retaking the White House.
