Job seekers are also asked their views on the events of Jan. 6, 2021.
The article from Fortune discusses how former President Donald Trump has been using a unique litmus test for potential job candidates by asking them who won the 2020 presidential election. This question serves as a way for Trump to gauge the loyalty and alignment of candidates with his views, particularly his unfounded claims of election fraud. Candidates who affirm that Trump won the election are seen as more likely to be hired, reflecting Trump's ongoing narrative that the election was stolen from him. This approach has raised concerns about the criteria for employment in his potential future administration, focusing more on political allegiance than on qualifications or experience.
