Chris Wallace Presses RNC Chair Over
2020 Election: Do You Think Biden Won?
Chris Wallace pushed Republican
National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel
to answer whether President Joe Biden
won the election after she said it's
"very real" to claim there were problems
in 2020.
The Donald Trump-backed
Republican National Committee chair, who spoke out about
"irregularities" and made evidence-free
voter fraud claims in the wake of the
2020 election, has recognized that Biden
is the president but has declined in the
past to say whether Biden's victory was
legitimate.
"I think saying there
were problems with 2020 is very real. I
don't think that's election-denying,"
McDaniel told the CNN host, who asked
when she stopped "being an election
denier."
Wallace, in a preview of
the interview shared on "CNN Primetime,"
cut McDaniel's answer short while
pressing her on the topic.
"Wait
a minute. Are you saying as the chair of
the Republican Party that you still have
questions as to whether or not Joe Biden
was the duly elected president in 2020?"
Wallace asked.
"Joe Biden's the
president. The process..." McDaniel
replied.
"No. I didn't ask you
whether he's the president," the host
said.
"No, I don't think that, I
think there were lots of problems"
McDaniel said.
McDaniel, who won
her fourth two-year term as RNC chair in
January, eventually acknowledged Biden
"ultimately" won the election before
doubling down on her claim that there
were problems with the voting process.
"But I don't think he won it fair. I
don't, I'm not going to say that," she
said.
"You're saying you're not
sure, as the Republican Party chair,
that he was the legitimately elected
president?" Wallace asked.
"I'm
saying there were lots of problems with
the 2020 election and we need to fix it
going forward," she replied.
