“The secretary knows that she and I vary on that subject," Dixon reported on WHD News Sunday. "I want to make positive that political speech is always shielded for the reason that that could open a can of worms for anybody on both of those sides of the occasion. But the secretary knows that I disagree with her on that place."

Dixon, who been given the backing of both of those Trump and DeVos, also dodged a query from Bret Baier on whether she imagined the 2020 election was stolen, a transform from her stance in Could, when she indicated she believed Trump was the "rightful" winner of the election.

“We have to make guaranteed our elections are protected and what took place in 2020 does not occur once more,” Dixon reported.

Dixon is the entrance-runner for Tuesday's Republican principal, leading a handful of other candidates for the nomination. The winner will encounter Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in November.
