President Trump traveled to Alaska to support Republican Sen. Dan S. Sullivan, who faces Democrat Mary Peltola in a tightly contested re-election race. Coverage notes that another candidate, Dan J. Sullivan, has a nearly identical name, and Trump encouraged voters to pick the "real" Sullivan; Fox reports he said his team is looking into that candidate. Trump also told Fox that Republican governor candidate Dave Bronson should drop out after losing the primary to Trump's preferred candidate. The Washington Times says he argued that Democrats would roll back drilling and cost jobs, noting Alaska has not elected a Democratic senator in nearly 20 years.
