Trump says Republicans are weighing legal action to remove a second Dan Sullivan from Alaska's Senate ballot.

President Trump posted on Truth Social that the Alaska Senate race is "totally confusing" because Daniel J. Sullivan Jr., a retired teacher, appears on the ballot alongside incumbent Republican Sen. Dan S. Sullivan. Trump said Republicans are looking at legal options to remove the second Sullivan and blamed Democrats for the situation. Early voting in Alaska began Monday and the ballots are already set; the state Supreme Court earlier allowed the second Sullivan to remain on the primary ballot.
