NYT Report Confirms Democratic 'Decoy' Strategy in Alaska Senate Race, Sparking Trump’s Prosecution Demands
The New York Times has revealed that Democratic operatives coordinated a campaign to recruit a second candidate named Dan Sullivan for the Alaska Senate race, aiming to confuse voters. President Trump has seized on this report to demand the prosecution of Democratic candidate Mary Peltola and the removal of both Sullivans from the ballot.

The race remains a tight contest, with Peltola holding a slight lead in recent polls.
