So its certainly a change of tune when the Republican congressman acknowledges the 2024 election was free and fair.
The notable difference between these two elections is, of course, that Jordans preferred candidate won.

CNNs Dana Bashconfronted Jordanwith this uncomfortable truth on SundaysState of the Union.
In the run-up to the election, even on election night itself,Donald Trumpbaselessly accused Democrats of cheating.
I havent seen you or your colleagues claiming any election irregularities, no rampant voting fraud this time.
Do you believe the 2024 election was free and fair?
I do, the congressman responded.
And why was it different from 2020, when he lost?
Is that the only difference?
No, there were concerns about 2020 with all the mail-in voting that happened, Jordan said.
So there were all kinds of concerns with how the 2020 election was carried out.
Yet mere days after Trump won, those challenges were withdrawn in multiple counties, according to NPR.
