Sen. Kelly Loeffler Dodges Questions on if She Agrees With Trump’s ‘Rigged’ Election Claims

Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) is being confronted on President Donald Trump’s claims surrounding the 2020 presidential election.

Loeffler is facing a Jan. 5 Senate runoff election, and during Sunday’s debate against her Democratic challenger, Rev. Raphael Warnock, she was asked if she agrees with Trump alleging the election was rigged.

Instead of directly answering questions on Trump’s allegations about the election, Loeffler dodged the questions multiple times, according to Mediaite.

She was asked by Atlanta Journal-Constitution political reporter Greg Bluestein, “President Trump opened his election rally last night by falsely claiming he won Georgia. He didn’t. According to certified state election results he lost the state by 12,000 votes. Do you stand by his narrative that the election was rigged and do you support his demand for Governor Kemp to call a special session to overturn the results?”

She, however, said, “It’s vitally important that Georgians trust our elections process, and the president has every right to every legal recourse, and that’s what’s taking place.”

Loeffler was then asked again, “Senator, do you believe the election was rigged?” to which she responded, “Look, Greg, it’s very clear that there were issues in this election.”
