During a recent Senate confirmation hearing, Democratic Sen. Mazie Hirono questioned President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general, Pam Bondi, about the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. Hirono directly asked Bondi who won the election, to which Bondi responded by acknowledging Joe Biden as the president of the United States.
However, Hirono continued to press Bondi on the matter, emphasizing the importance of making decisions based on facts. She pointed out that while she may not personally like the outcome of an election, she would still acknowledge the factual winner. Hirono expressed concern over Bondi's reluctance to explicitly state who won the 2020 election, stating that it was troubling that Bondi could not affirm this basic fact.
