INTRO: President Trump, arriving in Fort Myers, Florida for a campaign rally, spoke to reporters alongside Florida Governor Ron DeSantis regarding a recent federal lawsuit filed by the Department of Justice. The legal challenge targets Alaska’s election setup over potential ballot confusion involving two candidates named Dan Sullivan running for the U.S. Senate.
ACK: President Trump in Fort Myers
TAG: Both President Trump and Governor DeSantis claim that challenger Daniel J. Sullivan is funded by liberal donors to siphon votes. The Alaska Supreme Court previously rejected efforts to remove the candidate from the ballot. On the general election ballot, Republican incumbent Daniel S. Sullivan appears with his party designation, while challenger Daniel J. Sullivan appears with no party affiliation under Alaska’s ranked-choice voting system.
KEYWORD: Election, Legal, Politics, POTUS
