RNC chair defends mail-in voting, even as Trump trashes the practice – By Henry J. Gomez (NBC News) / Dec 6, 2022
Without naming names in a TV interview, Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel took aim at those who oppose voting by mail.
Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel unequivocally endorsed mail-in balloting Tuesday, distancing herself from former President Donald Trump on an issue that is fracturing the GOP in the wake of disappointing election results this fall.
“What we do need is our voters need to vote early,” McDaniel, a longtime Trump ally, said during a televised interview on Fox News. “I have said this over and over again. There were many in 2020 saying, ‘Don’t vote by mail, don’t vote early.’ And we have to stop that.”
An RNC spokesperson declined to comment further.
