INTRO: President Trump has said he ordered the Justice Department to file a lawsuit….. to block the certification of Alaska’s U-S Senate results – if the Republican incumbent loses. He’s concerned that
there are two Republicans running – both named Dan Sullivan. The G-O-P is concerned that the lesser known Sullivan could siphon votes away from the incumbent Sullivan. The president blasted the second Sullivan while talking to reporters in Palm Beach, Florida.
ACK: President Trump in Palm Beach, FL
TAG: The second Sullivan has said he decided to run on his own, but Republicans have contended he is a Democratic plant, meant to dilute the voting. Both men are up against Democrat Mary Peltola – the state’s former congresswoman.
KEYWORD: POTUS, Politics
