In a tense and emotional Senate hearing, Senator Peter Welch pressed Trump’s FBI Director nominee, Mr. Patel, to answer one question that still divides America, can you say that Joe Biden won the 2020 election?
What followed was a stunning exchange about truth, loyalty, and the future of American democracy. Welch reminded the chamber of the chaos of January 6th and the danger of refusing to acknowledge a peaceful transfer of power. But Patel refused to say the words, instead repeating that “President Biden was certified and sworn in.”
The clash exposed more than political differences; it revealed how fragile the truth has become in U.S. politics. From Trump’s controversial pardons to his attacks on political rivals, Welch warned that the next FBI director must be willing to stand up to power and defend the Constitution, not a person.
This moment wasn’t just about one nominee; it was a test of integrity in the highest ranks of government. Watch the full exchange to understand why this question still matters, and what it says about the state of democracy in America today.
