President Donald Trump held a rally for Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK) and other down-ballot Republicans in Wasilla, Alaska, Tuesday night, the first stop on a three-leg western campaign tour that will also take the president to Arizona and Montana.
Democrats have circled Alaska, a typically reliable Republican state, as a winnable seat in their bid to flip the Senate in the 2026 midterm elections. Democrats must win at least four seats to reclaim the majority in the Senate. Heading into Tuesday evening, former Rep. Mary Peltola, the Democratic candidate, held a 1.4-point advantage over Sullivan in the RealClearPolitics polling average.
