Representative Jim Jordanan Ohio Republicandismissed on Sunday concerns about voter fraud in the 2024 election and comparisons with the highly contested 2020 election after being confronted by CNNpp Dana Bash.

Jordan, an ally of Trump and the House Judiciary Committee chairman, appeared on CNN State of the Union the Sunday after the Republicans took the White House and the United States Senate—and possibly the US House of Representatives since votes are still being counted.

Bash raised the president-elect Donald Trumps “baseless” allegations of voter fraud on election night just before his victory over vice president Kamala Harris and noted that he quit as soon as the results started going his way.

Trump had prevented claims of cheating in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania, with no evidence even before the results started coming in, writing on Truth Social, his social media platform, on Nov. 5: “Lots of talk about massive CHEATING in Philadelphia. Law enforcement is coming!!!”

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner dismissed the claims, saying there was no factual basis whatsoever within law enforcement to support this wild accusation.

Bash told Jordan, “I haven’t seen you or your colleagues alleging any improprieties, no rampant voter fraud this time. It seems to me that Republicans are claiming voter fraud and election integrity when you lose, and not when you win.”

Trump and many Republicans maintained claims that the 2020 election was stolen through widespread voter fraud without evidence. On January 6, 2021, thousands of Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol building in an attempt to stop the certification of President Joe Bidens victory, sparking violence in the process, leading to one person being fatally shot by police and injuring dozens of officers.

Jordan was one of the Republicans who tried prevent certifying the 2020 election and refused to comply with a congressional subpoena on the riot.

The congressman on Sunday immediately denied Bash’s comment, calling Trump’s victory “the biggest political comeback” that “not even Teddy Roosevelt could do.”

Bash and Jordan continued to talk over each other as the CNN host tried to drive home her point, eventually getting a word in saying, “Last time it wasn’t so much about political differences or personality differences. It was false allegations of election fraud when Donald Trump lost This time Donald Trump won, and you think the election was free and fair.

Jordan instead focused on the apparent lack of Democratic turnout and the drop in votes — currently just shy of 71 million compared to the 81 million Biden won in 2020 — but when Bash asked him if he thought the 2024 election was free and fair, Jordan said absolutely simple , “I do.”

Asked why it was different — if Trump’s loss versus victory was the only difference — Jordan focused on mail-in ballots, saying there were “concerns” about the process, citing an alleged lack of verification of those votes.

Newsweek has reached out to Jordan’s office by email Sunday morning for comment.

Meanwhile, Bash also stressed during the interview that the 2020 election faced rigorous legal challenges, virtually all of which ultimately failed to find any irregularities or fraud, and pushed back on Jordan’s claim that voters rejected democrats for “name calling” by noting that “name calling was very strong on the Republican side of the aisle, from the former president.”
