Alaska's ballot carries two Dan Sullivans: Republican senator Dan S. Sullivan and Daniel J. Sullivan, a retired schoolteacher registered as a Republican. President Donald Trump says he ordered the lawsuit, claiming Democrats want to divert votes and hand the seat to Mary Peltola, who narrowly leads in polls. Attorney General Todd Blanche insisted on Sunday that Trump is not meddling. Republican senator Lisa Murkowski said the case should 'never' have been filed.

'Decoy Dan' admits voting for Democrats and attended a 'No Kings' rally.

Trump branded Murkowski 'Republicans' Worst Senator, by far' on Truth Social.

Peltola was hurt in a car crash and will resume campaigning on Tuesday.
