Trump Rages at Alaska Republicans Over Three-Way Race: ‘How Stupid Are We’
President Donald Trump has criticized Alaska Republicans for fielding three candidates in the State's Senate race in November.
President Donald Trump expressed frustration on social media over the presence of three Republican candidates running against Democrat Mary Peltola in Alaska's upcoming Senate race. Trump questioned the decision, stating, "How stupid are we to do this?" He criticized the ranked choice voting system, arguing it splits the party's vote.
Trump also lambasted the measure as "Corrupt" and called for its repeal in the November election. In the current polls, Peltola is leading with 47-50 percent of the vote, while incumbent Republican Dan Sullivan sits at 45-43 percent. The other two Republicans, Dan J. Sullivan and Gerald Heikes, have smaller shares of support. Trump reaffirmed his backing of Sullivan, praising him for bringing more business to Alaska than any other senator in U.S. history.
