"After deep consideration, it is clear to me that right now, 43 days from Election Day, is not the moment to make this change," McDonnell said.

"I have notified Governor (Jim) Pillen that I will not change my long-held position and will oppose any attempted changes to our electoral college system before the 2024 election."

McDonnell was seen as one of the last best hopes from Republicans to change the law before November. He made clear that he had no interest in supporting a change so close to the election.

"Nebraska voters, not politicians of either party, should have the final say on how we pick a President," McDonnell said.

"I want to thank the voters who reached out to me for engaging in democracy and for showing America who Nebraskans are " fiercely independent, filled with pride about our great city of Omaha, and deeply devoted to the promise of American democracy."
