Trump Heads to Alaska to Rally Support for Sen. Dan Sullivan
Trump’s trip comes as polling shows Mary Peltola tied or slightly ahead of Sen. Dan Sullivan in a race that could help decide Senate control.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump headlined a campaign rally in Wasilla, Alaska, to support U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan and U.S. Representative Nick Begich in their reelection bids ahead of November 3 midterm elections.
- Trump's visit reflects Republican concerns about Senate control, as Sullivan faces a competitive reelection challenge from Democrat Mary Peltola in a state that has not elected a Democrat to the chamber in nearly two decades.
- During the event, Trump criticized Alaska's ranked choice voting system as a "confusing, burdensome and costly voting scheme" and announced pardons for two local auto shop owners convicted of violating federal Clean Air Act regulations.
- Trump claimed a $54 billion investment from South Korea for an Alaskan natural gas pipeline, though officials there have not confirmed the commitment, and promised $5,000 payments to citizens if Republicans win the midterms.
- Protesters gathered in nearby Anchorage to express discontent with Trump's policies, while pollster Ivan Moore noted declining statewide support suggests the Senate race may hinge on 2024 Trump voters now disillusioned with the president.
