As of October 28, 2026, the New York Times reported that Mary Peltola's Democratic campaign in Alaska's U.S. Senate race worked with others to recruit another candidate named Dan Sullivan onto the ballot, aiming to confuse voters and potentially impact which party controls the chamber. This effort came amid a closely watched race where Democrat Mary Peltola is running against Republican incumbent Dan S. Sullivan. The revelation led President Trump to demand Alaska change its ballot, while the Justice Department accelerated criminal probes into these allegations. Democrats have been largely silent on denouncing this alleged tactic despite past warnings about threats to democracy.
