President Donald Trump traveled to Wasilla, Alaska, on Tuesday to campaign for Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan, who is seeking a third term in a closely contested race against Democrat Mary Peltola, a former member of Congress.
Trump urged voters to support the incumbent, calling him the “real Dan Sullivan” to distinguish him from Daniel Sullivan, a retired schoolteacher also running as a Republican. The president accused Democrats of recruiting the similarly named candidate to divide the Republican vote. The election will use ranked-choice voting, allowing Alaskans to rank as many as five candidates.
During the rally, Trump said Taiwan would invest more than $4 billion in and purchase gas from a proposed Alaska project. Taiwan did not immediately confirm the announcement, and the White House provided no further details. Trump also said the Federal Communications Commission would soon vote on an additional $162 million for expanding high-speed internet access in Alaska.
Trump announced pardons for two local repair-shop owners who pleaded guilty in 2022 to Clean Air Act violations involving tampering with federally required vehicle-monitoring equipment.
Sullivan emphasized energy issues, accusing Democrats and Peltola of undermining Alaska’s oil and gas industry. Trump also criticized Alaska’s ranked-choice system and backed a ballot measure to repeal it. His western campaign swing continues Wednesday with rallies in Arizona and Montana.
