Trump accuses Dems of 'trickery' in Dan Sullivan vs. Dan Sullivan Alaska primary
President Donald Trump is weighing in on the unusual Republican primary in Alaska, where a challenger with the same name as sitting senator Dan Sullivan is on the ballot.
Republican Dan J. Sullivan is contesting his own brother, also named Dan Sullivan, in Alaska's Republican primary for a U.S. Senate seat. President Donald Trump has taken notice of the unusual situation, accusing Democrats of "trickery" in the race for a crucial seat that could sway the balance of power in Congress. Alaskans head to the polls on Tuesday for primary elections, with former Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola seen as a strong contender to unseat the current senator, who is also named Dan Sullivan.
The Alaska Democratic Party and Peltola's campaign deny any involvement in the confusion surrounding the ballot. Trump endorsed Dan S. Sullivan in a recent post, calling him a "GREAT man" and a "very distinguished and Highly Respected Senator."
