Ronna McDaniel supports Trump’s Georgia legal battle over ‘contingent electors’ plot.

Republican National Committee Chairwoman Defends Actions in 2020 Election

Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has come forward to defend ⁢her actions following the 2020 election. In⁤ an interview⁢ with NewsNation’s The Hill, McDaniel addressed her involvement with the selection​ of “contingent electors” ⁤and emphasized that this practice is not unprecedented.

McDaniel firmly stands by her actions, despite being mentioned in the latest indictment against former President Donald Trump in Fulton County. It’s important to note that she has not been charged in any of the Trump cases.

Contingent Electors and ⁤Legal‌ Challenges

During the interview, McDaniel explained the concept of contingent electors ⁢and their purpose. She highlighted that this approach has been utilized in the past, ⁤citing the example of ⁢Hawaii. The selection of contingent electors was ‍based on ongoing legal challenges that had the⁤ potential to alter the outcome of the⁤ state and subsequently affect the seating of these electors.

McDaniel emphasized that the Department of Justice indictment clearly outlines ‌the RNC’s‌ understanding ‌of the situation, and she stands by it.

Involvement in the Fulton County⁤ Indictment

McDaniel’s name ‍appears in⁤ the Fulton County‌ indictment in relation to a phone call that took place on December 8, 2020.‍ The call involved herself, Trump, and lawyer John Eastman. During the call, they requested McDaniel’s assistance in‌ gathering an⁣ alternative slate of electors for⁢ Georgia, with the intention of voting for​ Trump instead‍ of President Joe Biden, who had won the state.

Trump and 18 others were indicted by a Fulton County grand jury on⁤ Monday, accused of participating in an‌ alleged racketeering scheme.

McDaniel’s Response to Trump’s Potential Debate Attendance

When ⁣asked about whether Trump will attend ​the​ upcoming Republican debate, McDaniel stated that she ‍had not received confirmation either way.​ She did mention that the deadline for candidates to inform the RNC of their participation, pending qualification, is Monday.

McDaniel explained that ‌there are specific​ criteria⁢ that candidates must ⁣meet in order to make the​ debate stage, including polling thresholds, small-dollar donor thresholds, ‌and a pledge. If ​they haven’t heard from ⁢Trump by the deadline, they will proceed with a set debate ⁣stage.

Other Republican presidential candidates, such as Gov. Ron DeSantis, Sen. Tim Scott, former Gov. Nikki Haley, and ​former Gov. ​Chris Christie, ‌have already confirmed their attendance ⁢at the debate ⁤scheduled for Wednesday ‍at 9 ​p.m. Eastern time in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Trump, on the other hand, expressed doubts about attending the debate in a post on Truth Social, questioning his presence⁤ by stating, “I’m your man.”
