Trying to place marketing campaign methods apart, Bash once more requested Jordan, “Do you believe the 2024 election was free and fair?”

All however backed right into a nook, the Ohio politician admitted, “I do. I do.”

“Why was it different from 2020 when he lost? Is that the only difference?” Bash then questioned.
