Trump says votes for 'Fake Dan Sullivan' and a 'slug' candidate should be given to Sen. Sullivan
President Donald Trump said on Truth Social Thursday that vote totals for namesake challenger Dan J. Sullivan and another candidate he called a 'slug' 'should be immediately given to the REAL Dan Sullivan,' the Anchorage Daily News reported. Peltola led Sullivan by 637 first-choice votes in the latest preliminary results, ADN said, with tens of thousands of early, absentee and rural ballots still to be counted. ADN also reported that the U.S. 9th Circuit has set a briefing schedule into January on the Justice Department's appeal of a dismissed federal suit seeking to stop certification if Sullivan narrowly loses, after Alaska's planned Nov. 25 certification.
