***WATCH FOR DATING***
INTRO: Votes are still being counted in Alaska’s Senate race … where Democratic nominee Mary Peltola holds a slight lead over incumbent Republican Senator Dan Sullivan. But a report alleging that Peltola’s campaign worked to get a second Dan Sullivan to run in the Senate race against the incumbent continues to make waves. Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office … President Trump demands that the non-incumbent’s votes be transferred to Senator Sullivan.
ACK: President Donald Trump
TAG: Both the non-incumbent Dan Sullivan and Peltola’s campaign have denied working together. Alaska’s Supreme Court had ruled the second Dan Sullivan was allowed to run … and both parties have backed spoiler candidates in the past. A judge has also dismissed the Justice Department’s lawsuit to block Alaska’s election results if Senator Sullivan narrowly loses his race.
KEYWORD: Politics, POTUS, Election
