White criticized the establishment’s financial influence in politics, emphasizing the need for independent voices.
“I appreciate the committee and its process,” White said. “I hope we can change it in the future because the same reservations they had about me would surely fall on Donald Trump as well if he was running in this race.”
His endorsement by the Republican Party signifies growing support for his unconventional candidacy, addressing personal and political challenges without revisiting past controversies.
