Trump to campaign with incumbent Sullivan in Alaska
Trump will rally for Dan Sullivan as Republicans try to hold the Senate in a race complicated by three GOP candidates and vote-splitting.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced plans to travel to Alaska one month before the Nov. 3 election to support incumbent Dan Sullivan, who remains in a statistical tie with Democratic nominee Mary Peltola.
- Trump criticized Alaska's ranked choice voting system as "a crooked form of voting," alleging Democrats are using a teacher also named Dan Sullivan as a spoiler, though Peltola and other Democrats have denied any involvement.
- Seeking to maintain Republican control of Congress, Trump plans to visit several states leveraging his political operation's resources; MAGA Inc. had more than $400 million on hand in July to assist candidates like Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
- The incumbent faces a tight race against the Democratic nominee and two other Republicans, including the teacher sharing his name, raising Republican anxiety about whether Trump's late involvement will secure re-election victories.
- Republicans currently hold a 53-45 Senate majority and a 218-214 House majority, yet polls show the generic congressional ballot breaking for Democrats by 6% as Election Day approaches.
