Alaska Public Media • • nation
Key Points:
- President Donald Trump will hold a rally in Wasilla next Tuesday at the Menard Sports Center to support U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan’s reelection campaign, with doors opening at noon and the event starting at 3:30 p.m.
- This rally marks Trump’s second recent visit to Alaska for political events, following Vice President JD Vance’s rally for Sullivan in Fairbanks earlier this week.
- Polls show a tight Senate race between Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan and Democrat Mary Peltola, with Peltola currently holding a slight lead in recent surveys despite some negative media coverage.
- Alaska’s Senate contest is one of seven key battleground races that could determine control of the U.S. Senate, with Democrats needing to win four of these to gain a majority.
- Wasilla, a strongly Republican area where Sullivan performed well in the primary, will host the rally in a relatively small venue seating around 3,000-3,500 people, smaller than some of Trump’s previous rally locations.
