After refusing for days to say whether she stood with Georgia’s military families or supported President Trump’s veto of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), Senator Kelly Loeffler made clear on Fox News this weekend that she will continue to try to dodge questions about her position on Friday’s major veto override after skipping the vote to campaign.
The annual defense policy bill will bolster America’s national security and directly support Georgia’s military families and facilities, but Loeffler has spent her entire campaign terrified of bucking Trump. In a Sunday interview with Bret Baier, Loeffler repeatedly refused to answer how she would have voted on the NDAA veto override in an increasingly awkward series of deflections.
Baier: “I won’t belabor it, but that’s not a yes or no whether you would sustain the veto or not.”
Loeffler: “That’s right.”
Baier: “Okay, you’re not answering that.”
