Trump Warns Alaska Voters to Back Real Dan Sullivan in Top-4 Senate Primary

Summary
Election Day brought a fresh Trump warning to Alaska voters to choose incumbent Sen. Dan S. Sullivan, not Dan J. Sullivan, a same-name challenger also listed in Tuesday's Senate primary.
Trump said Democrats put forward an "imposter" to siphon votes, while Alaska Democrats, Mary Peltola's campaign and Dan J. Sullivan have denied any coordinated effort to confuse voters.
June court rulings let Dan J. Sullivan stay on the ballot, and the naming dispute has since drawn a Justice Department investigation.
Alaska's nonpartisan system sends the top 4 finishers to a ranked-choice November election, raising the possibility that both Sullivans could advance in a race tied to control of Congress.
