President Donald Trump has criticized an Alaska Republican Senate primary contender who is running against his preferred candidate of the same name. Two Dan Sullivans are vying for a spot on November's midterms ballot — the incumbent Senator Dan Sullivan, and a retired schoolteacher Dan J. The latter recently won a legal battle to remain on the Alaska ballot after the incumbent senator and his Republican allies alleged that he was a sham candidate recruited by Democrats to confuse voters.
The president urged voters to back the incumbent senator, who has represented Alaska since 2015, and alleged that the contending Sullivan is an "imposter" working with the Democrats. "ALASKA: Be careful, VOTE FOR THE REAL DAN SULLIVAN TODAY," Trump wrote on Truth Social on Tuesday. "Through me, he's brought HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS BACK TO YOUR STATE.
The Dumocrats know how good he is and have put up an imposter of the same name." He added: "Vote for the 'INCUMBENT SENATOR.' Don't let these Fraudsters get away with this HOAX. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" Sullivan, a retired teacher from the island community of Petersburg, denied the accusation, saying he entered the race because of his frustration with the incumbent senator. This is a developing story.
