INTRO: Vice President J-D Vance speaking to reporters outside Air Force Two Tuesday morning, where he discussed the recent lawsuit filed by the Trump administration seeking to block certification of the Alaska senate election if Democrats win. The issue involves a candidate named Daniel J. Sullivan, who Republicans fear could confuse voters and take votes away from incumbent Republican Senator Dan Sullivan (R-AK) in the midterm election. Vice President Vance insists a lot of Alaskan voters could get confused on Election Day.
ACK: Vice President J-D Vance
TAG: Daniel J. Sullivan telling the Alaska Beacon that the lawsuit was “a gross misuse of the Justice Department for a situation that has already been litigated and resolved by the Alaska Supreme Court.” The retired teacher has denied claims that he’s running as a spoiler candidate.
KEYWORD: Politics, Legal, Election
