Peltola surpasses combined Dan Sullivan votes after latest drop
Peltola’s advantage grew by about 1,700 votes after Alaska election officials added nearly 25,000 ballots, leaving her 4,250 votes ahead of Sen. Dan Sullivan.
- On Tuesday, Democrat Mary Peltola extended her lead over Republican Senator Dan Sullivan in Alaska's Senate race, reaching 49% of the vote as officials tallied more than 24,000 additional ballots.
- President Donald Trump has repeatedly contested the presence of namesake challenger Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. on the ballot, claiming the incumbent Senator would have won if both Sullivans' votes were combined.
- With 84 percent of votes tallied, the race remains undecided under Alaska's ranked choice system, which continues until one candidate secures more than 50% of the vote.
- Peltola's campaign manager, Cheryl Bruce, stated her team is "exceptionally confident" in a "decisive victory," while the incumbent's team said they "look forward to a complete and accurate count."
- Counting is expected to continue through November 18, with final results scheduled for certification on November 25, potentially making this one of the last congressional races decided in the United States.
