Republican United States Senate candidate Tiffany Smiley of Washington dodged a question about President Joe Biden posed by CNN’s Dana Bash on Sunday’s edition of State of the Union.

Smiley, whom recent polling indicates is in a close race against five-term incumbent Democratic Senator Patty Murray, refused to say that Biden was legitimately elected in 2020.

“You said Biden is our president. Was he fairly elected, legitimately elected?” Bash asked.

“Yes, Joe Biden is our president, and look, my campaign has been so successful because from day one I am focused on the endorsement of the voters of Washington State and delivering results. I care about the people of Washington State. That’s who I am fighting for,” said Smiley, who worked as a nurse and motivational speaker prior to becoming the GOP’s nominee for the Senate. Smiley also founded the nonprofit Hope Unseen along with her husband Scotty, an Army veteran who was blinded in Iraq.
