Pro-Trump attorney Lin Wood is reportedly running to lead the South Carolina Republican Party but he doesn’t have Trump on his side. Wood recently moved to South Carolina from Georgia, he was a key figure in continuing to push Trump’s claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen due to widespread voter fraud and irregularities.

The Hill reports:

In an email late Sunday, Wood confirmed that he would seek to oust chairman Drew McKissick, who has run the South Carolina Republican Party since 2017.

“A compelling reason for my decision to run for Chair of the South Carolina Party is that it is time for the leadership of the Party to recognize and appreciate the amazing Patriots stepping up to get involved in the party — this is NOT the time to take actions to exclude them,” Wood said in an email. He cited a dispute over control of a local Republican Party organization in Horry County, home of Myrtle Beach.

“I am no fan of government corruption. Check my record. I am no fan of rule breakers as I believe strongly in the rule of law. Check my record. I detest shady back room deals as I support shining light on darkness. Check my record. I want to help my new neighbors in South Carolina return the Republican Party back to The People. The People have ALL the power — not the elite cabal of the old guard leadership. The People of the South Carolina Republican Party will bring INTEGRITY back to the party and to the government. I trust We The People. It will be my privilege to work for The People as they pursue their goals,” Wood said in the email.

Some experts say Wood’s continued push that the presidential election was stolen ended up negatively affecting the outcome of two key Georgia Senate races as more Republicans stayed home rather than vote in the run-off elections.

Wood will sure to face a tough campaign ahead as Trump just endorsed GOP chair Drew McKissick for re-election.

Trump released his “complete and total”endorsement of McKissick.

Trump wrote,” Drew McKissick has done an outstanding job as South Carolina GOP Chairman, electing more Republicans in 2020 than in over 140 years. Drew fought all the way to the Supreme Court to defend our voting laws—and WON. He will continue to grow the party and help Conservatives get elected in the Great State of South Carolina. Drew has my Complete and Total Endorsement for re-election”
