Kaine Rebukes OMB Nominee Hal Duncan Over 2020 Election Evasion at June 16 Hearing
3 articles · Updated · Raw Story · Jun 16
Summary
Tim Kaine used Hal Duncan’s June 16 confirmation hearing to argue the OMB deputy director nominee would not plainly acknowledge that Joe Biden won the 2020 election.
Jeff Merkley twice asked Duncan whether the 2020 election was rigged, and Duncan answered only that Biden had been certified as the winner.
Kaine said that response showed either belief in a conspiracy theory or fear of angering Trump, after Duncan later said Trump won in 2024.
Duncan is seeking Senate confirmation as deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget, where he would serve under Director Russell Vought.
