Alaska voters are choosing between Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan and Democratic challenger Mary Peltola in the Senate race, according to Bloomberg, NewsNation and PBS NewsHour. PBS reports that Sullivan is backed by President Donald Trump and Sen. Lisa Murkowski, and that Peltola, a former House member who narrowly lost in 2024, is running on affordability. NewsNation reports Peltola would be the first Alaska Native elected to the Senate. PBS also reports that a federal judge dismissed a Trump administration lawsuit on Sunday that had sought to block certification of the race if Peltola narrowly wins.
