Trump Urges Alaskans to Back Sullivan in Close Senate Race

Lafayette, IN, October 13, 2026 —

Former President Donald Trump urged Alaskans in Wasilla to vote for Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan, describing the U.S. Senate contest as close. Trump also warned against what he called a “fake” Democratic opponent and argued against ranked-choice voting, according to the available account of his remarks.

The account does not identify the Democratic opponent or provide additional details about the warning. It also does not include the date of Trump’s remarks, the venue in Wasilla, or the name of the event at which he spoke.

Trump’s comments combined support for Sullivan with criticism of the Democratic candidate and opposition to ranked-choice voting. The summary of the remarks does not give further explanation of Trump’s position on the voting system, specify any changes he urged, or include a response from Sullivan or the Democratic opponent.

Sullivan is identified in the account as a Republican senator seeking votes in a close U.S. Senate race. No polling figures, vote totals, or other evidence describing the race’s closeness were provided. The account also does not state whether Trump’s remarks were part of a broader campaign appearance or describe any response from voters or other officials.

Further details about the timing and setting of the remarks, the identity of the Democratic opponent, and the reasoning Trump offered on ranked-choice voting were not provided. The available information establishes his endorsement of Sullivan and his stated objections, but does not supply additional context about the campaign or the reaction to his comments.
