President Donald Trump demanded Wednesday that the Democrat Marie Peltola be removed from the Alaska Senate ballot following a report linking his campaign to a secret effort to strip votes from the Republican senator. Dan Sullivan by recruiting a candidate of the same name.
With the midterm elections less than a week away, the report intensified the fight for the Senate race, drawing condemnation from the Republican senator. Lisa Murkowski and a warning from the Attorney General Todd Blanche that the Justice Department could take additional action.
“ Marie Peltola should suffer the legal and political consequences of what she did, A FRAUD ON THE AMERICAN PUBLIC,” Asset wrote on Truth Social, adding that Sullivan should be allowed to operate without Peltola or “FALSE Dan Sullivan » on the ballot.
The president’s comments come after The New York Times reported Wednesday this Peltola campaign aides and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee officials participated in a month-long operation to recruit another Dan Sullivan and other potential spoilers from the Alaska election. The effort included an agent traveling through Alaska under a false name and discussions of creating a new political party to attract conservative candidates.
