On November 2, President Donald J. Trump said on X that Alaska Senator Dan S. Sullivan should run his race “under protest” because another candidate with the same name was placed on the ballot.
In his post, Trump praised Sullivan as “the Best Senator in the History of Alaska, and one of the Best in the Country,” and argued that the presence of another “Dan Sullivan” on the ballot constituted “FRAUD” against the senator. He wrote: “Senator Dan S. Sullivan, the Best Senator in the History of Alaska, and one of the Best in the Country, should be running his Senatorial Race in Alaska, ‘UNDER PROTEST,’ for the FRAUD that has been committed against him in putting another Dan Sullivan on the Ballot.” Trump added, “Dan Sullivan against Dan Sullivan — How ridiculous is that?” He closed the message with “Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
The post did not provide additional details or evidence beyond Trump’s assertions and call for an “under protest” campaign. Source: X
