The exchange quickly escalated as Acosta pressed Wolf, who served under former President Trump, to say whether President Biden won the last election fairly. “Who won the 2020 election?” Acosta asked after Wolf expressed concern about voter fraud and irregularities. “Obviously Joe Biden is president,” the former HHS secretary replied. “No, no, no,” Acosta replied. “Do you think he won this election fairly?” Wolf again answered the question indirectly. “Joe Biden is president,” Wolff said, adding that he did not have all the evidence needed to conclude that Biden’s victory was legitimate. Wolf cited Wisconsin’s use of drop boxes to support his claims of fraud, noting that polls consistently show a lack of confidence in election security among Americans. “There are a number of irregularities, illegalities and fraud,” Wolff said before Acosta interrupted. “Not enough to change the outcome of the election,” the CNN anchor replied. Akota slammed Wolff, accusing him of undermining democracy and leading Americans down a “path of lies.” “Sounds like you’ve been watching too many conspiracy theories about the 2020 election,” Acosta said as the segment came to a close.

Many Republicans have embraced the narrative as part of their campaigns during the ongoing midterm elections, including GOP candidates for secretary of state in states like Wyoming and Arizona.
