During a confirmation hearing, Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi and Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla engaged in a heated exchange regarding the legitimacy of the 2020 election, in which Donald Trump was defeated.
Padilla pressed Bondi to present evidence of widespread fraud in Pennsylvania during that election year. Bondi, who had visited Pennsylvania in November 2020 as part of the Trump campaign's efforts to challenge the election results, found herself in a contentious back-and-forth with Padilla, with both interrupting each other multiple times.
