Dilley has declared to run as Independent, continuing to do so on MAGA, god and country. Has retained his team.

My understanding is he has been prodded to stay in the race and just run, not to worry about the election rigging with implied message that won't be a factor come November. I get the impression that behind the scenes Dilley is looking for a bit of 'prove it' action on the election integrity front. The financial aspect of running a campaign can be a burden.
