DOJ vows to appeal lawsuit on Alaska Senate race after judge tosses it
A federal judge has tossed out a Justice Department lawsuit seeking to delay the Alaska Senate race certification over potential name confusion. CBS News' Jake Rosen reports.
In the closely contested Ohio Senate race, two pro-Israel lobbying groups, AIPAC and J Street, are clashing over support for their respective candidates. Republican Sen. Jon Husted, appointed to finish the term following Vice President JD Vance's inauguration, is receiving backing from AIPAC, while Democrat Sherrod Brown is being supported by J Street.
AIPAC, the powerful pro-Israel lobby, has contributed over $544,000 to Husted's campaign, while J Street, a liberal group critical of the Israeli government, has contributed more than $800,000 to Brown's campaign. The candidates' positions on issues such as arms sales to Israel and their stance on antisemitism have also become points of contention in the race.
