No. There are questions you can ask but that's not it. Don't be political in a way that's toxic to half the country - be political in a way that's toxic to the entire country. I'll leave what those lines of inquiry would be as an open exercise.
It’s funny how asking “who won the 2012 election” and “who won the 2016 election” are not political but suddenly “who won the 2020 election” is. I think that should tell you whoever takes an easily verifiable fact and argues that it is “political” is a raging idiot.
That said, I truly don’t mean that disparagingly. I just mean literally it’s right up there with flat earthers. There is a very low bar for critical thought you have to fail to meet to take a fact and argue it’s actually a belief.
Now, if you did want to get reasonably political you could argue why the candidate who won was good or bad, but there was very clearly only one person who sat in office for the four following years. It is not disputable.
How is that in any way equivalent? The American government/legislature doesn't force you to adopt any particular view of the 2020 election. You can say Biden won or you can say it was defrauded by dead people and Trump actually won.
You're allowed to say either one and you can train an LLM to say either one.
...have you seen the current administration being grilled by congress members?
They are actually properly unable to say "Biden won the 2020 election" because that's against Dear Leader's views. They will say anything similar like "was confirmed as...", but those exact words will NEVER come out of their mouth.

Biden secured 306 electoral votes to Trump's 232, and won the national popular vote by about 7 million votes.

Yes, but do you have any indication that this applies to American LLMs?
