The U.S. appeals court nominee claimed it is “political” to say Biden got the majority of votes and Electoral College votes to become president.
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump’s judicial nominee Emil Bove on Tuesday refused to say that Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election, claiming it would be “political” to do so.
During his nomination hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Bove was asked point blank by Sen. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) who won the 2020 election.
“President Biden was certified as the winner of that election,” said Bove, 44, who is up for a lifetime seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit.
“So you get the standard answer,” Welch said. “You can’t say that he won because he got the majority of votes and also got the Electoral College victory?”
Bove replied, “I think the characterizations that you just made, senator, are both political. So I can’t address them under the canons, and they’re also tied up in ongoing litigation.”
