McKissick has been endorsed by Donald Trump during a previous challenge for state party chair.[4][5] Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy floated McKissick's name as a replacement for national Republican Party Chair Ronna McDaniel.[6][7] McKissick was elected co-chair of the Republican National Committee in January 2023.[8]

McKissick was widely quoted after the 2022 South Carolina general election produced what many news outlets called a 'red wave', with a number of Democratic Party legislators losing their seats, and Republicans gaining a super majority in the state legislature.[9][10] [11]
