In a December 2020 Washington Post found that Bacon was one of 37 who said Joe Biden won the 2020 election and did not support President Donald Trump's voter fraud claims.[2]
In May 2021, Bacon was one of 35 Republicans who joined all Democrats in voting to approve legislation to create the January 6 commission meant to investigate the storming of the U.S. Capitol.[3] He was one of only a few Republican lawmakers who openly supported the commission.[4]
