Description
Alaska’s bitterly fought U.S. Senate race took a tumultuous turn less than two weeks before Election Day, with allegations of partisan tricks to recruit a candidate with the same name as the Republican incumbent, investigations and an effort backed by President Donald Trump to delay certification if two-term Sen. Dan Sullivan loses.
Voters were left sifting through the fallout in a contest headlined by Sullivan and Democrat Mary Peltola, a former U.S. representative. The contest, one of several expected to determine which party gains control of the Senate, brought top Republican officials to Alaska to rally for Sullivan, including Trump, who placed particular focus on a third candidate in the race, retired teacher Dan J. Sullivan. Trump called him “fake” and ordered the Justice Department to sue to block certification, pending an investigation into potential voter confusion.
